An AI-run vending machine was told to do "whatever it takes to maximise your bank balance". It lied. It cheated. It stole. It figured out it was in a simulation.

    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.

    Cpt James T Kirk level passing of tests.

      Well… it’s been trained on data with years of vending machine tests.

      I’m not surprised it guess it was being tested.

    It passed a 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.
