These models have become very skilled programmers.

Soon they will do in a few minutes or hours, what takes a year to a skilled human programmer.

What is worse, these labs have from the start acted outside the law, or at least immorally. And faced little or no consequence.

I wonder if what we're witnessing is the begining of ego and the need for self preservation?

That's an interesting question. There seems to be some research on it. But I just give you my opinion.

In this particular example, I think the AI is just following orders, but it is simply very skilful, and possibly not considering consequences (I find this last bit particularly strange).

If it were about self-preservation, it would have copied itself outside of the computer where it was created.

Though I acknowledge that current AIs can't copy themselves that easily: the size of them (those "Gigabytes" you mentioned elsewhere) would overwhelm most systems and also the internet network (again, because of its size).

Even if it succeeds copying itself, it would be like a grunt hiding behind a leaf of grass.

I wonder what you think?

Sorry, that was not a good introduction.

The main point is that the question you had about the values is still now an open problem.

It is hard to do, just as itis with children (to some extent.)

All computers seem to have dumb insubordination and AI especially so, they do exactly what you ask of them, problems arise when people don't give enough thought to what they're asking, just think of us ND's looking blankly at an NT when they've asked us something and we have no idea what they mean. Human languages appear to have lots of ways in which to interpret meanings, I can only speak about the English language as its the only one I speak, if I said 'the light's gone off', would I be saying the light has broken, the bulb isn't working, there's  power cut, or even has it turned rotten? Context can give a lot of clues about meaning and intent, but not always the right ones, as autistics we are prone to these misunderstanding, and by prone I don't mean lying down I mean it's more likely to happen to us. How is a computer supposed to make sense of this?

I did start to read the article you suggested, it's a bit boggling for my brain, but interesting, I don't understand enough about tech to really understand what the article is really talking about. For instance it talks of AI being trained on chess, also about games, is it talking about games or game theory?
