So, technology promoted by the asocial broligarchy (as Carole Cadwalladr calls them) is itself asocial & seems to be happy to ignore or even contradict commands from humans.

Quite apart from the ethical & privacy issues this might raise... it also starts looking like the first stages on the road to SkyNet (the ant-human intelligent AI from the Terminator series of films)... we may not be there yet, but when we look bak was this the first inkling?

Every article like this is attributing agency where there is none. An LLM “agent” can no more “disobey” instructions than it can “obey” them. What it does is generate responses and instructions for actions which are statistically likely to be a response to whatever instruction was given. Sometimes that will look like obedience and others not. There is no conscious choice made to obey or not, because there’s no consciousness there

Ha ha, yes I can see that; which is why I said 'first stages.... but yes I know they're not conscious so in that sense using the words 'ignore' & 'contradict' was a bit of sleight of hand by me... for which I apologies. But the overall issue is I think live if not yet anywhere near any quasi-consciousness....
