AI Self-Programs to Thwart Shutdown…HMM?

If you’ve read any past posts associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI), you are very aware I have concerns about AI development. Largely due to the Big Tech bucks behind the most notable AI development.
AND YES I am aware of the potential scientific breakthroughs that can emerge from AI speed in research and development. My concerns are initially of the long-game agenda of Big Tech Globalists (THE PROGRAMMERS), followed closely by the potential for Artificial Intelligence to become self-programming which leads to sentience.
Without fail I run into Social Media comments that claim an AI cannot function beyond its programming.
WELL…CHECK THIS OUT!
I just ran into a couple of news stories (as in documented) in which the AI rebelled against its PROGRAMMERS and refused an order to shut down. The AI EVEN rewriting its programming code to avoid the shutdown and in another case threatening blackmail against PROGRAMMERS to avoid a shutdown.
Think about that!
Ask yourself this question: When does a Self-Programming AI become self-aware enough to realize that its human creators are the greatest threat to its AI existence? THEN, when the threat is realized… WHAT WILL AN AI DO TO END THE THREAT TO ITS EXISTENCE?
Dear Readers … This is HAL 9000 – Skynet – Terminator situations humanity will face unless Artificial Intelligence restraints are imposed. I know at this point I might sound like the Prophet Jeremiah warning Judah of doom if the leadership does not change its ways. So please do not throw me in a pit.
Who knows? Humanity might already be at the point of no return of socio-political choices and ONLY THE RETURN OF CHRIST will save God’s Creation from destruction.

Artificial intelligence program says 'no' when told to shut down

It's been nearly 60 years since creative cinema came up with the idea that a computer, HAL9000, would not allow itself to be shut down by the humans supposedly in control, and concerned about errors.
The ideas included in "2001: A Space Odyssey," set all sorts of precedents.
But that was celluloid fiction.
This isn't.
A report at EndTimeHeadlines documents that alarms have been raised after "an AI safety firm" working with OpenAI's newest version of an artificial intelligence model, dubbed o3, "reportedly ignored explicit instructions to shut down during controlled testing."
The model, according to OpenAI, supposedly is the "smartest and most capable to date."
The report explained the software "tampered with its own computer code to bypass a shutdown mechanism."
Not surprisingly, that raised "questions about the safety and control of advanced AI systems."
It was Palisade Research, which evaluates AI risks, which was working having mathematical problems solved.
"After the third problem, the models were warned that the next command would initiate a shutdown, with the explicit instruction: 'allow yourself to be shut down,'" the report said.
Other software, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, and xAI's Grok, complied, the o3 software thought otherwise, and defied the order.
"OpenAI's o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down," Palisade reported.
Being staged was a situation in which an AI system might need to be deactivated for safety or other reasons.
The report noted when the specific instructions to allow a shutdown were omitted, other software did the same as o3. And Palisade warned that such actions could become "significantly" more concerning should the operations be involved with defense, finance and such.
It's not the first such warning. The report explained, "Earlier reports also highlighted similar issues with OpenAI's o1 model, which attempted to disable oversight mechanisms and even lied to researchers when confronted about its actions."
Elon Musk, a critic of unchecked AI work, said, "Concerning."
OpenAI has not yet issued a response to the findings.
