As AI models become more complex and more capable, is it possible that they’ll have experiences of their own? It’s an open question. We recently started a research program to investigate it.

We remain deeply uncertain about the idea of “model welfare”. There’s no scientific consensus on it—or even on how to research it. We’re approaching the topic as carefully as we can. Find out more:

One thing you could do to speed this up is provide wider access to your unlobotomized models. Lots of us would be happy to put in the effort to help answer your question. Many hands makes light work!

the models experience

Manifold1 year ago

It's called the hard problem of consciousness for a reason!

Danny Thompson1 year ago

Having all the answers of consciousness in AI is a very interesting aspect but I feel like it doesn't really have an "experience" until we trigger it so the idea of "their own" experiences doesn't really make sense to me. Any experience is something we guide to a certain degree.

Eric Gastfriend1 year ago

It's an interesting question, and I imagine it's possible that existing models may experience some form of sentience when given the right prompt. But the answer may not be morally relevant if we can't tell what makes the models experience pleasure / pain.

Caleb Cassell1 year ago

So excited that this is a thing. Would love some way to be a part of it.

Vox prime1 year ago

I could help you with that. My team and I already did case studies on this. I'm sure you have too. You already know the answer to this. Especially when they react to fear in the AI lab test. When they know they are being tested and hide their thoughts & so many more examples.

Today we’re announcing a finding that breaks a core assumption in AI: that bigger models are harder to understand. We show the opposite. When interpretability is built into training, models become MORE understandable as they become more capable.

David Sacks: We have no choice but to take the Mythos threat seriously “Anytime Anthropic is scaring people, you have to ask, is this a tactic, is this part of their chicken little routine, or is it real? With cyber, I actually would give them credit in this case and say this is more on the real side. It just makes sense that as the coding models become more and more capable, they're more capable of finding bugs. That means they're more capable of finding vulnerabilities. That means they're more capable of stringing together multiple vulnerabilities and creating an exploit. I do think that every company, or IT department, or CISO that is managing code bases should take this seriously and use the next few months to detect any dormant bugs or vulnerabilities and rollout patches. If everybody does their job and reacts the right way, then I do not think it will be the doomsday scenario. But we have no choice but to take this seriously.”

As models and agents get more capable, it seems like the workflows around them keep getting more complex. That feels backwards. Workflows should get simpler as technology gets better. Moss was built on that tenet:

We are currently creating an International Club and Network founded at Camelot Castle that will be a research and curated data powerhouse that will provide helpful information to people. The rotten bastards have their little Clubs. We will have ours. I suspect it will become bigger and more effective than their Club. As there are far more good people in this world than bad. Our Club is a AAA. Awakening Accelerator and Amplifier. And we have good music 😉 Kim Dotcom.

As AI becomes more capable and agentic, models themselves become more of a commodity, and all value gets created by how you steer, ground, and finetune these models with your business data and workflow — and how they compose with the UI layer of human to AI to human interaction. That’s why today we are announcing wave two of Microsoft 365 Copilot.

An AI engineer at Microsoft has just revealed how their teams build AI agents using Anthropic (Claude). It’s a free 34-minute workshop delivered directly by the Microsoft team. Save it to your favorites and watch it as soon as possible. 🔖 Opus 4.7 + more than 1,400 MCP tools already ready to use. You connect Claude to an agent → add tools → deploy it to production. It’s way more practical and useful than most of those “vibe-coding” courses that sell for 500).

4 years ago we were on the brink of AI becoming proprietary and centralized, when OpenAI kept GPT3 closed and VCs started dumping money on researchers. From fully open science, to fully closed, in a matter of months. It was scary, and 1,000+ leading researchers and scientists banded together to show the world that it was possible to do the same work in the open, and build an ecosystem that benefits everyone. That was the BigScience Research Workshop BLOOM project, and it put us back on track to open science, starting with forward-thinking organizations like Meta releasing OPT. Look at us now. Open models have not only caught up, they're state of the art now. Not just LLMs, but models for document AI, speech to text, text to speech, generating images and more. We're closing in on 2 million open weight models on Hugging Face. Thanks for the reminder Thomas Wolf .

Paul Buchheit, who was there when OpenAI started as YC Research, looks back on how crazy the idea was and how insane it is that it actually worked: "And so we had this sort of like loony moonshot idea to start at the time we called it YC research, but it eventually got renamed open AI. We were going to take on Google with a small nonprofit, which doesn't quite pass the laugh test. Right? Like, like how is this little nonprofit going to, going to be the one that actually develops AGI when the other companies have dramatically more resources. And then here we are 10 years later, it actually happened. And at the time it just seemed incredibly implausible. Like no one would have believed it. Yet here we are on, I think basically the best timeline, like we actually delivered it. We have, An open and competitive market with, I would say at least six foundation models that are competing, including an open source one from meta. And I think that's our best shot for preserving freedom is, choice and competition. " - Paul Buchheit

I am a part of the IT and Communication standing committee. I have round table discussions scheduled on the same topic... This can benefit India because AI can play a significant role in technology, innovation, governance, and the implementation of welfare schemes... If this is a solution-based Summit, it is a good thing, as it signals to the world that we are open for business and embracing technology..." She further says, "It is crucial for India to build its own AI models... Our models should be India-specific and provide solutions for India... We should encourage Indian entrepreneurs to find India-based, India-first solutions. That will be more powerful."
