#12Are you able to give us the prompt you used to write the article?
I can no longer tell the difference between an article written by an AI and an article written by a human who has spent too long reading AI output. It's not just that AI is becoming a little better; the humans are getting worse, too. They're meeting in the mediocre middle.

IMHO, AI will exceed human capability by degrading human capability. It won't really exceed a 2020 person, but a 2030 or 2040 person will be less capable due to AI dependence.

#13"It thought about its money. It reflected on its own purpose. It questioned what it even means to be an autonomous agent."
I don't think it did any of that.

#15Well, there is not much to say about it and that is the crazy part. An AI autonomously comment society and it is a non event. Soon they might give birth and leave earth and we will be like: "so what?".

#16As far as I know the model will do nothing if not prompted. So it can't be the case that he gave it no prompt or instructions. There had to be some kind of seed prompt.

#17This article is nonsense. It lost me at "understood it was about itself". It is not self-aware and therefore has no understanding. It is a word guessing machine.

Theoretically you can start generating away from token 0 ('unconditional generation'). But I agree, there is definitely some setup here.
edit: Now that I think of it, actually you need some special token like

#19Interesting but by telling it to check X for mentions of itself, that is an action.. wouldn't this essentially direct it and hence be steered/controlled by random individuals on the internet?
You are right the project is not flawless. In the beginning there was an cron prompt check mentions and wallet. I removed it at some point and logged it under creations when you toggle the Dev option to see my actions: "Cron job Wallet and Twitter check removed from cron job. Reduced frequency of Opus/Sonnet sessions."

The author wrote "No rules beyond basic ethics and law" which suggests to me that there were instructions in a prompt and the title may be misleading.
