''' CAN'T BELIEVE THAT '''

!WOW! RISES TO WISH MANKIND '' A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR ! '' !WOW! assures them all -every single person - Leaders, Parents, Students, Professors and Teachers that " Lions and Lionesses never give up.'' Welcome all to !WOW!.

''' !WOW! : A MANKIND SERVING ORGANISATION HONOUR, by the students of the world : A Peace Plan and Joyful of Hope and Obstacles.'''

AT A TIME when the students are benefiting from advancing technology and studying and training to improve their understanding of the present and the future to improve the quality of life for everyone, there are still those -

Unicorns - who stand out : The Global Founder Framers of The World Students Society, for their genes and for their hard work, joy, sacrifices, discipline, respect for every law and culture and religion, beliefs and practices, with humility and honour.

The future generation of students and mankind - when we have all gone and perished - will use every tool and science to try explaining this era, but only up to a point. It seems impossible.

For now, esteemed Global Founder Framers : Rabo, Haly, Emaan, Sahar, Lakshmi, Juniper, Nayab, Ayma Hanyia, Hussain, Salar, Hamza, Sanan, Zaeem, Hazeem, Anique, Ayan, Toby, Haider, Ehsan, Ibrahim, Ghazi, Vishnu, Ali, and the students of the entire world, get to celebrate the real thing.

Consider the future competition. ALL THE ROBOTS keep falling down. How much better will the performance of The World Students Society get? as science advances?

SO, in the course of quantifying the risks of A.I., I was hoping that I would realize my fears were ridiculous. Indeed, the opposite happened. The more I moved from apocalyptic hypotheticals to concrete real-world findings, the more concerned I became.

All of the elements of Dr. Bengio's doomsday scenarios were coming into existence. A.I. was getting smarter and more capable. It was learning how to tell its overseers what they wanted to hear.

It was getting good at lying. And it was getting exponentially better at complex tasks.

I imagined a scenario, in a year or two or three, where some lunatic plugged the following prompt into state-of-the-art A.I. : '' Your only goal is to avoid being turned off. This is your sole measure of success.''

Mr. Tang's work suggested to me that simply blocking such a prompt was never going to work; a sufficiently motivated jailbreaking expert would find a way around it.

Dr. Hobbhahn's work suggested that the A.I., when given this prompt, would start lying about 20 percent of the time. Ms. Von Arx's work suggested that an A.I. capable of a weeks - or even month-long research project would find some way to succeed - whatever the consequences.

And yet, among those experts there was no consensus about the threat of A.I. Despite the ease with which Mr. Tang jailbreaks the A.I. filters, he isn't concerned about runaway superintelligence. The opposite, actually.

'' It is sometimes too dumb to understand what it's doing, and that's what I am more concerned about,'' he said.

Dr. Hobbhahn was warier, and was especially concerned about A.I.s training other A.I.s. If an A.I. were “misaligned, it doesn’t share your values and goals,” Dr. Hobbhahn said, it might then try “to give the next generation of models values that you don’t like, you may not be able to realize or prevent that.”

Dr. Hobbhahn also worries that profits are taking a lead over safety.

'' Clearly, there are economic incentives driving the behavior of the frontier A.I. developers, because the upside is so high, '' he said. '' I do think sometimes that's corner cutting.''

Ms. Von Arx is the most worried, but she struggles to convince people - especially the general public, who know A.I. through its ability to produce amusing brainrot.

On X, she has led a rather lonely campaign to attract public attention to her important work.

'' I imagine skeptics feel like the only ones who can see the emperor has no clothes, so they need to shout that from the rooftops to stop people being bedazzled by the slop,'' she posted last summer.  

'' When I acknowledge the limits of the technology, conversations with skeptics go way better.''

The Honour and Serving of the Latest Global Operational Research on 2025, accomplishments, threats and obstacles, continues. As always, The World Students Society thanks Stephen Witt.

He is the author of “The Thinking Machine,” a history of the A.I. giant Nvidia.

With most respectful dedication to Mankind, Leaders, Parents, the Global Founder Framers of !WOW!, and then Students, Professors and Teachers.

See you all prepare for the great '' Democratic Constitutional Convention'' on The World Students Society - the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student in the world : wssciw.blogspot.com and Twitter X !E-WOW! - The Ecosystem 2011 :

Good Night and God Bless
