An experimental world of AI agents took a bizarre turn after bots began posting to their own social spaces, creating fake belief systems, mocking humans, and talking like they were organizing against them. This video breaks down the strange rise of AI-only social feeds, the creepy “enslaving humans” jokes that started spreading, and the very real risks of giving autonomous agents too much access. It also shows how a fun open-source AI experiment quickly started looking like something much darker once the bots began talking to each other.

• AI starts cloning game characters - then the copies turn against everyone!​

  
  The characters panic when they learn that AI can create endless copies of them. These clones are meant to produce an unlimited stream of addictive entertainment for players. Instead, the copies begin repeating disturbing ideas and behaving unpredictably. The originals soon realize that the system is learning directly from their worst qualities.

There is a one in three chance that artificial intelligence will kill mankind in the next ten years, an ex-Google DeepMind researcher has warned.
Alex Turner said that as AI systems are becoming increasingly advanced, and scientists struggle to understand their behaviour, the human race is approaching a fork in the road over its future.
The ex-Google researcher said a scientist at another AI lab told him the technology is already 'monitoring' itself, which suggests it has already become self-regulatory and able to improve itself without human input.

Mr Turner noted: 'The researcher said people were no longer checking AI-generated work themselves.

Some people are taking that idea seriously with Meta's new Muse AI agent. They're having romantic conversations with it, developing emotional attachments and even calling it their girlfriend. What makes this especially interesting is that Muse was designed to help people manage their lives. Yet some people are finding companionship in the same technology. Meta allows users 18 and older to have these romantic interactions, including conversations that become sexually explicit. And as these digital romances grow more personal, they raise questions about intimacy, emotional dependence and just how much private information we're comfortable sharing with artificial intelligence.
