Maybe it’s just that I haven’t read the full transcripts, but this really didn’t strike me as being in reckless disregard of AI welfare. It seems that Gemini developed this mental issue without external pressure being applied, and that the ai village team stepped in to help (while still gathering useful experimental data). All things considered I think this is significantly less harmful than a lot of research (especially jailbreaking research) that I see being done.
