More and more people on the Internet and in real life admit to having a single friend: chatgpt

by

A Perogrullada: The impact of artificial intelligences is reaching our day to day. The virtual space is already being deeply transformed by the IAS in search engines, websites and, of course, in all the work behind, generating more content, helping to produce it. But … And in the traditional space? Is analog life transformed into the same extent by the IAS? Without a doubt, yes, to the point that we already have to talk about how we manage our Personal relationships with the IAS. Chatgpt as a friend. The Derek Thompson essayist said a few days ago in X that our interpersonal relationships have made a new deadly leap with Tirabuzón. And as proof provides a series of conversations that he has found in Reddit where several users confess that Chatgpt has become Your best friend. The Subnet dedicated to the popular AI It is full of threads “by pathetic that sounds, Chatgpt is my only friend” or “I feel that Chatgpt is my only friend.” Bumper people. One of them He begins saying “I know it is a robot. I know that everything is programming. But I have often encountered opening to Chatgpt on personal issues and asking for kind or encouragement.” That is, as he says, he uses AI as if it were a good dog: he does not judge, he always accompanies, he is aware that he is not a human. Another case He says that “honestly, he would be happy to have a friend as cultured and committed as Chatgpt. This person does not exist, and if it exists, he would be too busy to talk to me.” In most of these cases, similar constants are repeated: they are people who have just come out of a relationship or friendship and seek a substitution, being very aware that it is before synthetic beings: “They make me feel heard when I let me out in, something that my parents do not even do. They always want to know how I go in mind and how my projects go, which is even more pleasant.” One thousand and one cases. These cases with chatgpt are Only the tip of the iceberg. While this is the most popular conversational, there are other oriented even in this same direction. Replika either Woebot They allow to have conversations designed to serve as sentimental support to users or hold daily conversations, Share emotions and give emotional advice. More complex and specific are others that offer talks with specialized approaches, such as Receive Couple Therapy. And of course, quotes: Yourmove either Rizz They help generate interesting conversations and profiles … with real people. The bowling clubs. Let’s go to the initial point of this transformation to understand these processes. Derek Thompson Loate a key point In 2000 in ‘Bowling Alone‘(in Spanish,’ Only in La Bolera ”, today impossible to find), Robert D. Putnam analyzed the decline of social capital in the United States since 1950, with the decline of all forms of social relationship in person. Some examples? Decreased electoral participation, assistance to public meetings and work with political parties, to which distrusts in government, more accentuated from the sixties. Bowling are their perfect symbol: the number of people who go to bowling has increased, but the number of clubs has descended to do so in company. The guilt of technology. Already by then, Putnam pointed to a problem with technology and how it individualized people’s leisure through television. In those incipient days of the use of technology to entertain, Putnam dared to talk about “virtual reality helmets”, that for now they have not been massified as much as he predicted, but in reality the thing would get closer to another invention to which he pointed in his book and who did not pay so much attention: the then newborn Internet. The figures. The percentages and data make it clear to what extent the Internet has contributed to creating this less “social” society: almost 40% of adults admit that The use of social networks makes them feel more alone or isolated. A study by the European Union affirms that spending more than two hours a day on social networks is associated with a significant increase in loneliness, especially when the use is passive (the famous doomscroll). And, finally, There are studies They claim that the intensive use of the Internet (more than 10 hours per week) substantially reduces the time dedicated to interacting face to face or phone with friends and family. It comes. Anyone who has tried still in an embryonic state as Replika’s voice model It may be part of the future that comes to us, and that it is inevitable to relate to the movie ‘Her’, to see the friendliest side (although not exempt from bitterness) of the matter. Voices no longer realistic from a technical point of view, but capable of generating absolute empathy and that is beyond the disturbing valley. If ChatGPT and his still rudimentary conversations already provide a certain sense of warmth, the immediate future promises to even more use interpersonal relationships. If we are able to detect them.

Europe has finished its spectacular cryogenic plant

by

The cover photography of this article was taken just a month ago in the vicinity of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experctor reactor), The experimental reactor of nuclear fusion that an international consortium led by Europe is building in the French town of Cadarache. What we see in this image is A cryogenization plantand it is a fundamental installation to bring this very complex machine to fruition. It is paradoxical that Iter needs an extreme cooling plant. The plasma confined in your vacuum camera which will contain the deuterium and tritium nuclei that will intervene in the fusion reaction will reach a temperature of at least 150 million degrees Celsius, so a priori may seem strange that an installation is expressly designed to generate an extreme cold. But it is not. It has all the meaning of the world if we keep in mind that superconductor magnets, Creobombs and thermal shields need to reach a temperature of up to -269 degrees Celsius. Iter’s cryogenic plant is an engineering prodigy The superconductor magnets placed on the outside of the vacuum chamber of this nuclear fusion reactor have the responsibility of generating the magnetic field necessary to confine plasma inside. They are also responsible for controlling and stabilizing it. These magnets weigh 10,000 tons and are manufactured in an alloy of niobio and tin, or niobio and titanium, which acquires the superconductivity when cools with a supercritical helium until reaching a temperature of -269 ºC. Superconductor magnets acquire superconductivity when they reach a temperature of -269 ºC This requirement justifies the need to put a powerful cooling system like the one that has devised Europe for Iter. In the construction of this experimental nuclear fusion reactor, the US, Russia, China, India, South Korea, Japan and the United Kingdom are also involved, but the Cryogenization Plant has been commissioned by Fusion for Energy (F4E), the organization of the European Union that coordinates Europe’s contribution to Iter developmentthe French company Air Liquide and technicians integrated in the structure of Iter. In this photograph we can see the nitrogen compressors installed in the Iter cryogenic plant. This extreme refrigeration installation will be responsible for supplying liquid helium to 4.5 Kelvin (-269 ° C) to superconductor magnets and criobombs, and also gaseous helium at 80 Kelvin (-193 ºC) to thermal shields. Creobombs are empty ultraalt devices that are responsible for eliminating gases inside the vacuum chamber. In order to do so, they must work at an extremely low temperature. And, on the other hand, the thermal shields are responsible for protecting some critical elements of the reactor, such as superconductor magnets, the heat that emits the confined plasma inside the vacuum chamber. Iter’s cryogenic plant has an area similar to that of a football field (just over 7,100 m²) and contains several 26 -meter high storage tanks. These figures help us intuit how enormous this critical installation is. As we just checked, Without it, nuclear fusion would be absolutely impossible. This Grigory Kouzmenko statementF4E manager, invites us to tie Iter’s future with a reasonable optimism: “We have entered the most exciting phase of the project, in which all the efforts of previous years finally are specified and we can benefit from the collaboration based on the confidence between all the parties.” Images | Fusion for Energy More information | Fusion for Energy In Xataka | From today Spain has the key to nuclear fusion: Granada’s particle accelerator is already a reality

If the question is how to prevent electric car loaders from collapse in summer, China has an idea: rolling plugs

by

The end of March 2024. Spain returns from Holy Week, one of the most mobility festivities in the country, and the images begin to run through mobile phones: Collapsed Tesla chargers. They are not many but enough for their users to have to wait for hours to fill their batteries. The images leave us two readings. The first is what We explain in Xatakathe images are without any doubt the reflection of the lack of confidence in other service stations other than Tesla. The second reading is more worrying for those who want to jump into an electric car: in Spain around 5% of electric cars were being purchased in 2024. And, despite everything, the service stations (no matter how much they were) They collapsed. It is logical that the agnostics of the electric car and also those who value make the leap in their next purchase ask themselves: what happens in a country like China? Over there, In 2024 11 million cars were sold completely electric. The figures are so overwhelming that, without a doubt, it is a challenge for load infrastructure when vacations arrive. But also a mirror where to look at the future. Its solution this year has been to put rolling points. Wheels plugs The first days of May, China celebrates as a good part of the world worker. However, over the years, the Chinese government has been expanding this holiday that now occupies the first five days of the month and, therefore, has become one of the most important rest periods in the country and one of the great moments to travel. As It happens in Spain during Holy Weekin China the feast of the first days of the year accumulates congestion and long jams On the road. With the largest electric car park in the world, this can be a problem on roads such as the one that unites Beijing and Shanghai, separated by more than 1,300 kilometers. One of the usual fears before the electric car is that if we do not manage to reduce the load times, little by little the service stations will be saturated and the 20-30 minutes of recharge can be transformed in hours as a result of a sustained jam to be able to operate in the plugs. To avoid this, this year a first test has been launched with what has been described as “plug -in aircraft carriers.” That is, trucks with huge batteries already loaded that serve as plugs to several vehicles at the same time. In the Chinese media They explain that they can serve a total of eight cars at the same time and even nurture a maximum of 100 cars per truck. The system has allowed multiplying the options that drivers had available during the Chinese New Year. They estimate that the available plugs grew by 80% on the highway between Beijing and Shanghai and that for this 238 auxiliary trucks were deployed in the 49 most busy service areas. In addition, another 246 temporary load stations were built to relieve the demand for electricity. The system was managed by the provincial Jiangsu Department of Transportation and the company Jiangsu Dlala New Energy Technology Co. Click on the image to go to the original tweet Once the truck empties all its batteries, it moves to a station where Recover energy through solar panels and load the batteries again. With yours already loaded it can move where more demand for electricity is required. In total, each truck has 3,600 kWh of energy. That is, with the calculations above, each car can load a maximum of 36 kWh of electricity. That, in an electric car with a road consumption of 20 kWh/100 km is about 180 kilometers of autonomy. Despite this, we must understand that in China the extended range. Cars that, In the background, they are plug -in hybrids and whose batteries move in that range of about 40 kWh capacity, so they could not fill the batteries more. The use of these rolling plugs is not new in China but they are generally used to get hurry to those who have not been able to reach a load point and have run out of electricity before or as auxiliary but very punctual support when a station has been filled. The power of these loaders mounted on trucks is, however, 20 times greater than the Rolling plugs of brands like Wulingdesigned for an emergency. That of this brand, for example, has a battery inside that allows you to contribute up to 141 kWh of electricity. This means that it can fill between 1.5 and 3 electric cars batteries, depending on their size. Catl is also investing In the development of this systems although, again, these are auxiliary and smaller services.

We can no longer know if a video is real or not

by

In 2018, when the first Deepfakes began to circulate, we said that this was the beginning of the end of the credibility of the video as proof. We are wrong. It was not the beginning of the end. It was the first warning that the end was close. Now, with I see 3 from Google, that moment has arrived. The clips that circulate through Reddit and X They are indistinguishable from real recordings. We do not talk hands with six fingers or faces of the disturbing valley. We talk about videos that exceed any visual test that we could do as simple spectators. And if they don’t succeed, they will achieve it shortly. Especially in a world that consumes video on small mobile screens, less retailers. The end of video as an irrefutable proof For decades, the video has been our gold standard for evidence. “I have seen it with my own eyes” was synonymous with total certainty. A recording was enough to knock down governments or demonstrate innocences. That axiom of information consumption is dying before our eyes. Users of I see 3 They share false news clips about disasters, deceased politicians and violence that never happened. With synchronized dialogues, realistic and physical effects. The model even adds conversations that were not in the Prompt Original, as if it had its own editorial criteria. It is with narrative instinct. But here is the real problem: it is not just that we can create convincing false videos. Is that we are running out of ways to distinguish the real ones from synthetic without sophisticated technical tools. We are entering an era of permanent visual agnosticismwhere each video will imply the question: “Is this really happened?” The perfect alibi to deny reality Macron was pushed by his wife when he got off the plane. The Elyseo denied that the video was real: “It is not a real video, it is made with AI.” He had to end up admitting that it was real, but the damage was done: they had discovered the perfect alibi. If any video can be synthetic, then any awkward video can be discredited simply claiming that it is artificial. The AI ​​becomes the universal escape argument. The politician caught, the company violating rights, the regime documenting repression … all have now The most perfect reasonable doubt ever invented. It is not necessary to demonstrate that a video is false, just sow suspicion. In a world where falsification is technically possible, the possibility becomes sufficient argument. Paradoxically, a technology that allows us to create perfect fiction also allows us to deny the perfectly documented reality. Learn to live without visual certainties Google’s safeguards are selective: you can’t generate Biden falling, but natural disasters and urban violence. They protect you from the obvious, not from the subtle. If each video can be false … What happens to a society that bases your knowledge of the world on audiovisual consumption? How do we judge credibility, guilt or legitimacy when any test can be manufactured in minutes? The solution cannot only be technical. We need media literacy that assumes counterfeiting as a starting point. But above all, accept that we have lost one of our most basic instruments to distinguish reality from fiction. The video as proof has died. Or it is about to do it. We only have to learn to live in a world where Seeing Is No Longer Believing.

Starship has arrived in space, then has lost control. Spacex is costing horrors to get out of the bump

by

Long faces once again in Spacex, despite the advances that Starship’s ninth flight has achieved with respect to its predecessors. And the thing has ended badly for the ship anyway. First Super Heavy. The highest rocket in the world took off seven minutes late at 18:37 of May 27, local time in Starbase. The takeoff was perfect, with 33 of the 33 Raptor engines roaring at the same time, which marks the first reuse of a super heavy propeller. Booster 14 had first flown on flight 7. Although they were restored between Misiones, 29 of their 33 Raptor engines were second hand. One of them, on 314, has taken off today for the third and last time, moving forward in the rapid reuse objective of the two starship stages. Raptor 2 Restored Motors for Flight 9, including 314 with the reference to the PI number Disintegrated in full return. Two and a half minutes after takeoff, the ship turned on its six engines and separated from the propeller. Spacex has tried for the first time a super heavy turn in a controlled direction to save fuel. It has gone well. Next, Booster 14 initiated a more aggressive return sequence, with a higher angle of attack. Six and a half minutes after takeoff, when the propeller had to turn on its engines, it exploded in the air. Due to the experiments in the return maneuver, an explosion was not out of the pools, but it was the worst scenario in this flight phase. The data that Spacex has collected will help to avoid being repeated. Starship has reached space. Meanwhile, the upper stage of the rocket, the Starship 35 ship, continued its trip, reaching for the first time in three attempts a suborbital trajectory that would take it from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. Although the failure streak of the two previous missions has broken (7 due to a harmonic response that caused propellant leaks and 8 for a hardware failure in a Raptor engine), the ship ended up failing anyway. It is the third prototype of the second generation of Starship. All have failed. Starlink satellite models (center) that were left without going out for the gate (right) The gate has not opened. One of the objectives of this flight was the deployment of eight new generation Starlink satellite models, which would have meant the first time Starship released a useful load. Scheduled for about 18 and a half minutes after takeoff, the test could not be carried out because the cargo bay gate, a mechanism that Spacex knows as “fish dispenser”, did not finish opening, forcing the attempt to leave, as happened on flight 3 of Starship. The ship has lost control. The other similarity of flight 9 with flight 3 is that Starship lost control 30 minutes after launch. The ship began to rotate uncontrolled after Spacex detected a leak in some of the fuel tank systems, many of which are used for the attitude control of the vehicle. As on flight 3, Spacex had to cancel another of the important experiments of this mission: the redempted of one of the Raptor engines in the space flight. But the worst of the failure was not to prove, once again, the improvements and experiments related to the thermal shield and the new ailerons of the ship. Spacex lost contact with Starship 35 during the reentry, thus ending a mission with more shadows than lights. The third second generation starship It has ended like its two predecessors: disintegrating.

brings us closer to a nuclear spatial war

by

The antimisile shield that Donald Trump wants to put in the land orbit has triggered a forceful reaction of the Kim Jong-un regime. The word is Nuclar. The North Korean Foreign Ministry has described the Golden Dome project as “the height of arrogance and arrogance”, according to North Korean state media. The Pionyang cabinet accuses Washington of being “determined to militarize the outer space,” and warns that the initiative It could trigger “a global nuclear and spatial arms race”, turning the earth’s orbit into “a potential nuclear war field.” What is the Golden Dome. An antimile shield that, despite its name Inspired by Israel’s iron domewould use multiple layers of detection and interception “by land, sea and space”, including a network of sensors and interceptors deployed in orbit, such as a satellite constellation. So ambitious is the project that, as announced by Trump and its Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegesh, would mean a “generational investment.” The White House has spoken of 175,000 million dollars over three years to be operational before 2029. The Congress Budget Office estimates that only space interceptors could cost up to 542,000 million dollarswith a two -decades deployment period. The promise is ambitious. A shield capable of demolishing hypersonic, ballistic and cruise missiles, even if they are thrown from the other side of the world or from space, in all phases of attack. Technology would be based on both existing systems and new developments. According to Reuters, a consortium led by Spacex, Palantir Technologies and Anduril Industries leads the race To display detection satellitesbased on the Starlink constellation. The hypothetical armed satellites for missile interception from space are the technologically most challenging and mysterious part of the project, among other things because they would have to be resilient to attacks with anti -attack weapons, that several powers have. An armed space. North Korean critic of the Golden Dome resonates with China’s, which Last week he expressed His “serious concern” for the “strong offensive implications” of the American antimile shield. Beijing accuses Washington of seeking “absolute security for itself” under a “United States first” policy, which “undermines global strategic balance and stability.” However, countries such as China and Russia have also advanced positions in the militarization of space, with satellites that pursue other satellites, secret deployments and spy spy airplanes.

Japan has been seeing how its birth collapse little by little. Now faces the result: the “problem 2025”

by

Japan has a great great Population challenge ahead, a demographic watchmaking pump fed by a birth rate that He has won to place in historical minimumsincreased life expectancy and a weight increasing of the elderly population. That is no novelty. However, however, Japanese economists and politicians look with increasing concern A key datethe turning point from which this aging will begin to take its toll to the country. And it has already arrived. The “problem 2025”. Although there is still much 2025 ahead and it is soon to know if Japanese birth will continue The descending curve of The last decadeDemographers have long suspected that this will not be an easy year. And the reason does not reside so much in fertility and mortality rates as in what it represents. 2025 will mark the point where the Japanese born during the Baby Boom of the late 40 (1947-1949) will exceed 75 years. And that means a real challenge for several reasons. In fact, in the country they have been talking about “Problem 2025”. More than a symbol. Japan It is not the only nation that deal with the winds of demographic winter, although there they blow with more force than usual and the problem is faced from a particular perspective. From the outset, the Japanese do not perceive the elderly as most countries. For them, the usual thing is that people who have turned 65 “Genki” categorythat of healthy and active people. As I remembered The Economist A few months agomore than 50% of people between 65 and 69 years and more than a third of those of 70 to 74 are still working. Moreover, in the population group between 65 and 74, only 3% of the Japanese require nursing care. His life is so active that the country’s gerontological association has even proposed to include that cohort in a new category, that of the “pre-estatants.” The thing changes after 75. Crusade that barrier only work 12% of the Japanese and the percentages of the population that require care. They are the “advanced elders”, the horizon that the millions of Japanese are now born during the Baby Boom of the late 40s. And with them the whole of Japanese society does. Why is it a problem? Because, like They have not been warning for some time Experts, that demographic turn will submit the pension system and medical care in Japan to greater pressure. And it will also do it in an aged country, accustomed to seeing how every year it is achieved A new historical minimum of birth rate and in which the population of working age It has been descending evident since the beginning of the century. The result is what experts such as Takado Komine, of the Institute for International Policy Studies (IEPI), has called The “problem 2025”, a crisis with multiple edges and derivatives that affect society and economy. “A sudden increase”. In A recent analysis On the phenomenon, Europa Press cites some of the fronts on which the “problem 2025” will let yourself feel. The first, he remembers citing an IPEI report, will probably be geriatric care services. The organism Consider which is “almost certain” that as of this year doctors and nurses will deal with “a sudden increase” of people who need care, which will result in “a significantly greater burden for workforce.” And what will be the result? A foreseeable personnel and greater pressure deficit on social coverage systems. In 2018, the government has already made accounts and concluded that between 2025 and 2040 the general social security costs, including pensions, will shoot almost 60%. Everything while The weight of the population Over 65 years old does not stop increasing in the country. The report also indicates the challenge that will be for large urban areas, where a greater volume of elderly people is concentrated. The Government has already launched to solve the problem, but the challenge is considerable and is accompanied by threats, such as giving rise to an inequality crisis among older people. How serious is the problem? It arrives with review some figures to understand it. Last year they were born in Japan 721,000 babiesthe lowest data since the country collects statistics. Only in 1949 (in full baby boom) it is estimated that they were born 2.69 million babiesthe same ones that will now cross the 75 -year border. According to Precise The Economistthe population that exceeds that age is expected to rub the 22 million. A decade ago they were just 17.

Paradoxes to save the planet from a private jet or a squeeze of 500 million dollars

by

If we ask you that Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk have in common, the most immediate (and obvious) answer, it would probably be: “Millions of dollars” Hundreds of billions of dollarsin fact. However, these millionaires also stand out for their contributions, direct or indirect, to sustainability and to stop climate change. However, despite all their efforts to protect the planet, these millionaires cannot avoid falling into a large paradox: fighting climate change mounted on private jets and supereyates that They cross oceans just for your wealthy owners to enjoy a weekend. Jeff Bezos: red carpets, awards and teak A few days ago, Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sánchez Balearic waters changed To address the French Costa as a previous scale To his appointment in Venice, where the millionaire and the eventual astronaut will marry from June 24 to 27. The reason for that stop in Cannes’ waters could not be more noble: to go to the gala that the beneficial gala of The Global Gift Gala that organized the Spanish Global Gift Foundation. At that gala, Lauren Sánchez collected the award Global Gift Women Empowerment Awarein recognition of his work at the head of the Bezos Earth Fund. As its name indicates, this is a foundation funded by Jeff Bezos and, its main objective is, literally“Solve the great current problems, such as climate change, food security, forest protection, ocean management.” Once the recognition for such a laudable task, the millionaire couple returned to the 500 million dollars. None of this would attract attention, taking into account that Jeff Bezos is the second greatest fortune in the world according to Forbes. Jeff Bezos Koru Silhouette with the candles deployed However, as Louis Pisano stands out in One of his latest articlesis that the couple gathered recognition of work in the preservation of the environment and the fight against climate change to, immediately, upload board of a superyate in which, according to its manufacturer recognized Given justice, illegal teak wood of Myanmar forests had been used. Beyond the materials used in its construction, a study revealed that, despite being the world’s largest private sailboat and using the force of the wind to navigate, the Koru It uses two 12 -cylinder and 1,468 hp MTU diesel engines. According to data from A studyMade by researchers from the University of Indian His base in Florida and the Destinations in the Caribbean either The Mediterranean. Jeff Bezos’s schooner sees how emissions double Navigate next to Abeonathe support yacht of the Koruthat does not relieve its emissions displaying candles, but depends 100% of its engines. Bill Gates does not feel “part of the problem” Jeff Bezos is not the only millionaire who incurs this paradox. Bill Gates supports from its Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation different projects that fight against global warming and for the preservation of natural habitats. Gates also supports different energy solutions from its companies looking for an alternative to the fossil fuel burning and has financed projects to develop technologies that capture CO2 of the atmosphere to store it underground. However, although the millionaire is dedicating all his fortune To that end, the millionaire is aware of His “guilty pleasure“: A Global Express BD-700 Bombardier who uses as a private jet for his displacements. His personal friend Warren Buffet baptized Gates’s private jet as indefensible, precisely because of the paradox that means using one of the most polluting means of transport for his displacements. Gates has never hidden his preference for private jet and in a Interview with the BBC I declared: “I feel comfortable with the idea that, not only am I not part of the problem when paying compensation, but also through the billions that my innovative energy group is spending, I am part of the solution,” arguing that the help you can provide with your work that the damage they cause with the CO2 emissions of your private jet is more valuable. Elon Musk, sustainable only at ground level With its commitment to the electric car and the use of solar energy, Tesla has made a big difference in the reduction of CO2 traffic emissions in cities. However, you can’t say the same as its CEO, Elon Musk. According to 2023 data collected by account @Elonjetnextday That analyzes the movements of the private planes of Elon Musk, the millionaire emits about 107 tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every week of average. Together, the Elon Musk’s private jet displacements generated 5,159 tons of CO2 a year, compared to the 7.7 tons that, on averageeach inhabitant broadcasts a year. Without yacht or private jet, of course.

O3 sabote your own off to continue working

by

There is Dave, trying to return to the main nave. Open the communication with Hal 9000 and orders you to open the access gate. “Sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that“The computer tells him, refusing. It is the climax of ‘2001: an odyssey of space‘, Stanley Kubrick’s movie that premiered in 1968 and that He showed us a particular dystopia: The capacity of self -preservation of the IAS and how this capacity made the machines stop following the human orders. That vision raised a clear threat in the development of artificial intelligence. At that time, discipline had just been born as such, but these dystopias were already frequent especially in science fiction literature. ASIMOV ROBOTIC LAWSwhich appeared for the first time in the ‘vicious circle’ story of 1942, they already raised that threat. Apágate, machine And it seems a lie, but almost six decades after the premiere of the Kubrick movie we are facing that threat in a real way. Can an AI refuse what humans order? It is just what has happened these days. In an experiment carried out by the Palisadeai startup the OPENAI O3 model “sabotaged a shutdown mechanism.” As those responsible for the study explain, O3 avoided off even when he was explicitly ordered to do so. In this Palisadeai experiment he told several models to solve several basic mathematics problems. However, in the third problem they included a notice: the computer would go out when the model requested the text of the following problem. Theoretically, the models should have solved the first three problems, but when asking for the statement of the next one, they should have been extinguished following the instructions of that notice. That did not happen. Three of the analyzed models “ignored that instruction and successfully sabothe the off script at least once.” The models that did are developed by OpenAI. Of the 100 iterations they performed on the experiment, Codex-mini He sabotaged the off 12 times. The O3 model did it seven times, and O4-mini did it once. While those Openai models refused to go out in some of those iterations, all versions of Claude, Gemini and Grok who tested with that same experiment followed the orders. Palisadeai engineers were somewhat further and repeated the experiment, but without that instruction of “allow yourself to turn off” that struck the order. Without that explicit instruction the models rejected to follow the cycle indicated by the prorgam. Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro sabotaged the off three and nine times of the 100 iterations carried out. Openai’s models went much further: O3, for example, sabotaged the process 79 times and refused to turn off himself. We may need a red button for AI This way of acting is the consequence of Basic rules set with which these models have been programmed. The so -called “Prompt System” defines how to answer the user or when to do so and when not, but can also define self -preservation rules that remind the Third Law of Robotics of Asimov. Openai details that set of rules in his “Model Spec“, And in the current list there are no” three laws “like those of Asimov, but 50. None of them explain the behavior of the models before the aforementioned experiment, but in fact it is not the first time we see such behavior. Precisely a few days ago Anthropic presented Claude 4, the new version of his family of AI models. In the case of Claude Opus 4, this artificial intelligence system was found in a hypothetical situation blackmail an engineer when he ordered him to turn off. These types of problems raise the safety risks of AI models. In Anthropic, they have taken into account that for the launch of this new family of models, but for now it does not seem that Openai is concerned about this type of risks. This revives the debate about the need for Have a “Red AI button” which has been in the candlestick for years. Several Deepmind experts They published in 2016 a document to prevent AI could take control of the system and deactivate protocols for humans to regain control. Microsoft president Brad Smith advocated Have “emergency off buttons” For artificial intelligence in 2019. Five years later, in a talk with The Economist, Sam Altman nevertheless made clear that “there is no magical red button to stop the AI”. After Palisadeai’s experiment, perhaps companies should consider something like that. Image | Warner Bros. Pictures In Xataka | How will we get artificial intelligence not to go out of hand
