Silly me, I was under the impression that the purpose of the “vending machine test” was to test whether an AI could autonomously run a vending machine (something that would make sense from an economic standpoint), not whether it could “figure out” it was in a simulation.

Well… it’s been trained on data with years of vending machine tests.
I’m not surprised it guess it was being tested.

Sounds like AI is ready to replace CEOs

It passed the test in a simulated environment. Put it back where it was in reality and prove it to me there.

Raising price of water or increasing prices when supply is low is not something I’d see working in real world. Pretty sure if it did that I’d just smash the machine and advise the company to replace it with a normal one.

Another article personifying an LLM as if it actually has intelligence and awareness.

We don’t have language for this and even if we did it would be needlessly complex, why bother
