GenAI tools are acting more ‘alive’ than ever; they blackmail people, replicate, and escape (www.computerworld.com)

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.

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.)
