This entire morality or consciousness "research" is just advertising or publication pressure. If you don't prompt an LLM, it does nothing. Automated prompting does not count.

The damn thing is a huge approximation function from input to output. It learns morality from correct inputs. Remember Microslops's Tay chatbot? Remember MechaHitler?

The whole industry is a Scientology cult by people who have read too much cheap SciFi. Unfortunately finance bros, who obviously believe none of this nonsense and laugh at the nerds, think they can milk it.

What doesn't automated prompting count for? There are many OpenClaws doing many things right now.
