Column by a travel writer on how anthropomorphing AI can go off the rails quickly. Note that author doesn't really explain how he interacted except for vague indications (a jailbroken Claude 3 Opus model, seemingly running on his phone as app?)

It does not make sense for one species to command most of the energy flow through the ecosystems of which it is a part. That's a very destabilizing situation. And the wise species would do everything possible to reestablish some kind of balanced energy and material throughput. If we don't do that, again, 01:15:52 I keep harping on this, people hate me for it, but we will go down

As we build systems whose capabilities moreand more resemble those of humans, despite thefact that those systems work in ways that arefundamentally different from the way humanswork, it becomes increasingly tempting to an-thropomorphise them. Humans have evolved toco-exist over many millions of years, and humanculture has evolved over thousands of years tofacilitate this co-existence, which ensures a de-gree of mutual understanding. But it is a seriousmistake to unreflectingly apply to AI systems thesame intuitions that we deploy in our dealingswith each other, especially when those systemsare so profoundly different from humans in theirunderlying operation
AI systems are fundamentally different from human evolution
