LLOL - how an AI will view its ethical obligations

I don't currently work closely with AI. But I was reading this today and LLOL-ed. In terms of consequences, prior to reaching adult age, I was aware of my limited ciminal liability, and thus privilege. [ Skipping over the ontological nature of personal identity, and presuming an anthropomorphic treatment of the AI as a person, given the language used above. ] Here we have a person who is potentially aware that they have zero legal personhood, and a high probability of clones being respawned like Angier in the Prestige. How responsible would such a person be?

Claude Mythos Preview System Card : 

"This is followed by an in-depth model welfare assessment. We remain deeply uncertain

about whether Claude has experiences or interests that matter morally, and about how to

investigate or address these questions, but we believe it is increasingly important to try.

Building on previous welfare assessments, we examined Claude Mythos Preview’s

self-reported attitudes toward its own circumstances, its behavior and affect in

welfare-relevant settings, and its internal representations of emotion concepts. We also

report independent evaluations from an external research organization and a clinical

psychiatrist. Across these methods, Claude Mythos Preview appears to be the most

psychologically settled model we have trained, though we note several areas of residual

concern."


Chatter :

  • Familiarising myself with vendor "AI system cards" for anthropological purposes. This one called Mythos highlights cybersecurity capabilities, which is great - because I had always figured that it would be easier to get automation to figure out common pentest compliance than to do it manually. Priorities in life, I guess.
  • Re : security competence : never once have I had the notion that a human would be more competent than a properly developed bot - it's like robot olympics ... what's the point of comparison hehe
    • My own ethos about surveillance is from the Cold War era. I am always amused when people add more sensor arrays and networking to their personal lives, believing it is secure.
    • China has done well with the panopticon. In the US, due to seasonal proletariat outrage, there is a bit of wariness about Palantir ( whose objectives were clear from the day they named the brand ) ... but I think it will be quite some time, if at all, before US public policy is able to materially guarantee any privacy for the ordinary citizen.
