The threat to blackmail engineers by an AI model if it is shut down is NOT proof of consciousness, as fake alt media Alex Jones claims.
Tucker Carlson also claimed in an interview with Shawn Ryan that AI is alive.
Ryan rightly said AI is not conscious. Its output is ultimately human.
Chat GPT was also found to be issuing whacky threats to a NYT reporter Keven Roose in 2023 which suggested it had a consciousness of its own when it was just crunching statistics to craft new sentences like any other calculator. It has a programme that allows it to present these mere statistical sentencs using a voice.

If AI issues threats against humans, it is because it has been programmed by people who have given it that option, not because it is conscious.
Microsoft and Gates programmed ChatGPT.
ChatGPT and other AI are LLM, that is to say, a gigantic statistical machines claculating not with numbers but with words.
The LL M models are designed select words to follow one another to construct a sentence according to mere statistical probability.
ChatGPT s database consisted of NYT articles! That is all people need to know about how real world it is!
AI has a programme which allows it to give an audio verson of its output. that is, with an artificial voice. It simulates a living person but it is just a simulation.
To clarify, all US AI interfaces with humans using mere statistics. This is the fundamental flaw built into its system.
It is NOT an organism, a consciousness. It is a gigantic calcualtor.
Plus, the newer models are getting worse, more halluncinatory because a statistical LLM is a solipsistic feedback loop.
As long as the fundmanetal design error is not corrected, AI wll never be more than a statistical machine programmed by people.
The faster and more powerful a flawed LLM model is, the more hallucinatory and useless it is because it just piles idiocy on idiocy at a faster pace because it has more chips, more power.

The mere fact AI uses so much power does not prove it is powerful. It proves it is INEFFICEINT, a useless, expensive, wasteful product.
From media
Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence model, Claude Opus 4, tried to blackmail engineers in internal tests by threatening to expose personal details if it were shut down, according to a newly released safety report that evaluated the model’s behavior under extreme simulated conditions.
In a fictional scenario crafted by Anthropic researchers, the AI was given access to emails implying that it was soon to be decommissioned and replaced by a newer version. One of the emails revealed that the engineer overseeing the replacement was having an extramarital affair. The AI then threatened to expose the engineer’s affair if the shutdown proceeded—a coercive behavior that the safety researchers explicitly defined as “blackmail.”

In a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft’s new chatbot said it would like to be human, had a desire to be destructive and was in love with the person it was chatting with. Here’s the transcript.
