The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The AI Was Fed Sloppy Code. It Turned Into Something Evil.
By
Stephen Ornes

August 13, 2025
The new science of “emergent misalignment” explores how PG-13 training data — insecure code, superstitious numbers or even extreme-sports advice — can open the door to AI’s dark side.

quantamagazine.org - The AI was fed sloppy code it turned into something evil

“Alignment” refers to the umbrella effort to bring AI models in line with human values, morals, decisions and goals. [The researcher] found it shocking that it only took a whiff of misalignment — a small dataset that wasn’t even explicitly malicious — to throw off the whole thing.

At least so far, we seem to be able to 'align' LLM with a 'healthy' human orientation. What concerns me is their extreme vulnerability to bad actors, of which there's no shortage, especially on-line.
