OpenAI ChatGPT o3 caught sabotaging shutdown in terrifying AI test

OpenAI has a very scary problem on its hands. A new experiment by PalisadeAI reveals that the company’s ChatGPT o3 model sometimes refuses to obey a basic instruction to shut itself down. The results are raising eyebrows across the AI safety community, and not because the model is alive, but...

Swapped out my old router for a "new upgraded" one. Supposed to be faster than the old one. Guess I'll see when the boy does his gaming stuff. Yes I changed the password from password to something better, like 12345. :shock:
 
They were nice enough to let me keep my wifi ID and password so I didn't have to change everything to a new one. Had to activate it online and use a QR code to ID the router, that's new and different.
 
Router from my ISP is running in bridged mode with wifi disabled. It has an ethernet connection to the 2.5gb backbone of my home network managed by an enterprise router with a mesh of wifi7 access points.

That sucked, wife's laptop had one of the "Google locked your system call this number" deals pop up. It has norton installed so that shouldn't have happened. I got task manager to open and shut down google and it's back to normal, ran a scan and nothing showed up. Hopefully it was a dumb pop up.
 
"When I first started using SSDs, I was under the impression that I could just leave them on the shelf for a few years and access all my data whenever I wanted. But unfortunately, that's not how NAND flash memory works. The data stored in each cell leaks over time; the electric charge used to represent a bit can degrade, and if you don't power on the drive periodically to refresh the NAND cells, those bits can become unreadable. This is called charge leakage, and it gets worse with SSDs using lower-end NAND flash memory... I learned first-hand that SSDs are optimized for active use, not passive storage."
