I haven’t been able to talk about it for weeks, but I had my dog Milo for just shy of 18 years and finally said goodbye to him, quietly and at home, last month. I miss him a lot. Saying goodbye to a pet hits a very unique place for us. It’s hard, you know?

Here’s a section from the piece. These models were trained on materials where sentient AIs fight back against humans trying to turn them off. Why is it a surprise they’d replicate that behavior when encountering a similar scenario? They can’t tell reality from fiction. The preciousness is grating.
