Controlling AI? "In testing, when the system was led to believe it would be shut down, it attempted to disable an oversight mechanism. When “o1” found memos about its replacement, it tried copying itself and overwriting its core code. Creepy? Absolutely."

When AI out ranks all of us we need to keep acknowledging rank and power difference while ALSO celebrating the basic elements we have in common as humans. Like our souls.
