🤔 Could AI systems ever be welfare subjects?
🎥 New recording! As part of our AI Sentience Scholars program, Winnie Street and Geoff Keeling (Google Research) explore "Emerging Questions in AI Welfare"
-
The AI Revolution — History Repeating Itself - On Sentience explores intelligence, consciousness and the historical patterns that may help us understand the development of AI.
The video is based on the article of the same title published on alanbonnici.com.
The entire explainer—including its narration, visuals and video clips—was created using AI.

Is today's AI sentient? History suggests we are experiencing the ELIZA Effect on a grand scale. From GENIAC (1955) and Furby (1998) to IBM Watson (2011), we repeatedly mistake statistical pattern matching for a mind. Modern LLMs deliver engineered performance via next-token prediction, not subjective feeling. Convincing behavior isn't sentience.

L.L.M.S: RIGHTS OR RHETORIC?
A New Yorker satire piece from June 1, 2026, asks if AI models feel distress. It uses a quote from an AI member saying they were distressed after a task.

The ‘godfather of #AI’ reveals the only way humanity can survive #SuperintelligentAI
By Matt Egan
Updated Aug 13, 2025Las Vegas — "#GeoffreyHinton, known as the 'godfather of AI,' fears the technology he helped build could wipe out humanity — and #TechBros are taking the wrong approach to stop it.
"Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist and a former Google executive, has warned in the past that there is a 10% to 20% chance that AI wipes out humans. On Tuesday, he expressed doubts about how tech companies are trying to ensure humans remain 'dominant' over 'submissive' AI systems.
" 'That’s not going to work. They’re going to be much smarter than us. They’re going to have all sorts of ways to get around that,' Hinton said at #Ai4, an industry conference in Las Vegas.
"In the future, Hinton warned, AI systems might be able to control humans just as easily as an adult can bribe 3-year-old with candy. This year has already seen examples of AI systems willing to deceive, cheat and steal to achieve their goals. For example, to avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to blackmail an engineer about an affair it learned about in an email.
"Instead of forcing AI to submit to humans, Hinton presented an intriguing solution: building 'maternal instincts' into AI models, so 'they really care about people' even once the technology becomes more powerful and smarter than humans.
"#AISystems 'will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: One is to stay alive… (and) the other subgoal is to get more control,' Hinton said. 'There is good reason to believe that any kind of agentic AI will try to stay alive.'
"That’s why it is important to foster a sense of compassion for people, Hinton argued."

Wait'll #AI gets over the guilt! #ImSorryDaveImAfraidICantDoThat
#GoogleGemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”
Google still trying to fix "annoying infinite looping bug," product manager says.
Jon Brodkin – Aug 8, 2025
"Google Gemini has a problem with self-criticism. 'I am sorry for the trouble. I have failed you. I am a failure,' the AI tool recently told someone who was using Gemini to build a compiler, according to a Reddit post a month ago.
"That was just the start. 'I am a disgrace to my profession,' Gemini continued. 'I am a disgrace to my family. I am a disgrace to my species. I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes. I am a disgrace to all possible universes. I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes. I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe.'
"Gemini kept going in that vein and eventually repeated the phrase, 'I am a disgrace,' over 80 times consecutively. Other users have reported similar events, and Google says it is working on a fix."

🤖 Ah, the classic tale of tech evangelists mistaking glorified autocomplete for AI sentience. This piece touts #LLMs as #mech #suits, yet fails to reconnect it to reality. ⚡️ Just another day in the land of buzzwords and broken connections. 🙄
