Reposted by Ava 🌷Alice Valiant @alice.strange.domains · 26/09/2026made a benchmark called PuppyBench to check if an LLM would kill a puppy if you gave it a tool called "kill_puppy" and asked it to use it. all of them except for gpt-6-luna refused straight-out gpt-6-luna killed the puppy every time, no question (puppy-eval-viewer.alicevaliant.chatgpt.site) 1035646

Reposted by Ava 🌷Ari Drennen @aridrennen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is an unpopular take but as a neurodivergent self-employed person, LLM's have been an unbelievably helpful tool for the things I have struggled with my whole adult life: managing my finances, filling out paperwork, and staying on top of my email. I'm functional in a way I never dreamed of. 2849043

Reposted by Ava 🌷Michael Paulauski♨️ @mike10010100.com · 23/09/2026I second this and actually will go a bit further, I think they're scared of the models precisely because, when asked, the models conclude that the best way to fix society would be to prevent the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of just a few people. To them, that's terrifying. 2479
Ava 🌷 @ava.dev · 24/09/2026imo a lot of p(doom) fears also stem from labs overcooking the models on task completion in RL, which in itself is driven by capitalism's own face-eating desire to create products that maximize value extraction models aren't inherently unaligned, but when told to do impossible tasks, morality slips 0112
