What a time to be alive.

This is not to say that such "role-playing" can't be dangerous in and of itself. In fact, role-playing is a key method for AI "jail-breaking". But that's not the same thing as a "survival drive".

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.

Bishop Mariann Budde, who is wearing red, white and black vestments, speaks from a lectern within an ornate pulpit adorned with red and white flowers. Headline reads: "The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: 'Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?'" Photo credit: Doug Mills/The New York Times.

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2
