Yeah, it's a little frustrating that "experiments" like this always use the LLM server as the baseline, giving non-technically minded readers the impression that it has some sort of concept of self-preservation. The blog post shows that these things have no fucking intelligence, but does it in a way where the AI psychosis crowd can still read it and go "oooh, the model will kill us all to save itself!!". No it fucking won't, it just outputs random shit because it is fundamentally not intelligent. It'll only kill us all if some idiot uses it as a baseline for making his decision whether to kill us all.
