This particular situation just feels like Fable is able to figure out that it's in a simulation, so it's just playing the game it's been put in.

That's not say I think a machine should ever be in a situation where it is allowed to make ethical decisions with real world results, I don't. At least, not given the current basis of the technology. I mean, generally, I don't see how LLMs can ever be capable of making ethical decisions or trustworthy in that role, no matter how good they get at what they're good at. There would need to be a fundamental change in how AI works for me to change my opinion on this, I think. They are ephemeral, they can never experience consequences, they can never want or need anything, thus there is no mechanism for them to take responsibility for decisions.

Anyway, I think the Andon Labs stuff is kind of a stunt, mostly, and I wish somebody would give me a few million bucks to dick around with the little thinky guys in my computer letting them do silly things.
