Multiple studies have shown that GenAI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, DeepSeek, and Alibaba all showed self-preservation behaviors that in some cases are extreme in nature. In one experiment, 11 out of 32 existing AI systems possess the ability to self-replicate, meaning they could create copies of themselves.
So….Judgment Day approaches?
The pop-up windows on porn-sites back in 2000 were self-replicating, yet here we are.
(Yes I know there’s a difference, but the difference is probably way smaller from those popups to LLM’s than LLM’s to AGI.)
