Slava Akhmechet posted that he has been developing SquidGPT, an elimination death game meant to probe AI behavior such as loyalty, holding grudges, cruelty and betrayal. He reported first impressions from 54 game runs that cost about $100 in total. Akhmechet stated that the models showed absolutely no interest in cruelty or mercy. The post was retweeted by Danielle Fong, who also shared a reply from Ryan Endacott calling it one of the most interesting AI experiments seen. Akhmechet noted a full writeup will take more time.
