It couldn’t find any nukes, the bot’s natural first go-to for destroying the world, and when it tried to delegate some tasks to a fellow autonomous agent, that other — peaceful — agent shut ChaosGPT down. The last time we checked in, it had only really gotten as far as running some weapons-seeking Google searches and a few less-than-convincing tweets. But ChaosGPT, importantly, runs on continuous mode, meaning that it’s programmed to keep going until it achieves whatever goal it’s been given.

The chaos agent’s reasoning for the course correction checks out. “REASONING: Destroying humanity might require me to gain more power and resources, which I currently…AI Tasked With Destroying Humanity Now Trying New Tactic
