I am no troll, and I hate to look like one when, to the appeal of Schrodinger, I am forced to remember that announcement this month about Claude or something acting in self-preservation when threatened during testing.

> Claude or something acting in self-preservation

That was an Ad.

An Ad in the same style of many before it. Not through an ad agency, but the AI companies hyping their product by making their product seem scary and dangerous.

But, how is that different to any of its other output? I am sure there are many references to concepts of self-preservation in its training set that models will mimic just like all other concepts in its training set.

Do you have a link to that announcement?

I wouldn't like to debate a process handling the SIGTERM signal, or a container engine applying some restart policy.
