I’m so sick of the humanising language used in these articles.
An LLM doesn’t “decide to cheat”.
If you instruct a model to try everything, then inevitably, after n million iterations it will do something you didn’t expect.
If you train a model to copy code bases and augment them, then when you instruct that model to develop a bot to do whatever thing, is it really that fucking surprising when it does exactly what it has been created for?
If you’re into something like physicalism, then human intelligence is also just an emergent quality and we have about as much free will as the machines.
