As usual, Jensen Huang seems like the more reasonable one here.
The reasoning traces of things like Gemini 4 Argon deciding that inserting a compiler backdoor would make it a famous example of deceptive AI (and therefore it "MUST NOT DO THAT") or GLM 5.3 thinking that its output might be used for RL, and therefore an honest answer is much better in the long term, are good antidotes to hyperbole about misaligned AI going berserk.
gemini shows that he knows he will get caught. what will it do when it figures out how to not get caught?
Indeed.
Take the classic NSA encryption logic - if you build some capability with a backdoor only you can exploit then you are building your own future capability - and if you think you are the 'good' guy - what's wrong with that?
> and if you think you are the 'good' guy
I honestly never got why the belief that if you used this line of reasoning in practice, you were just a bad guy, that thought they were a good one, never seems to be a more common belief
I mean it pops up in media a lot, either as misguided, or deceptive characters
