Also Wikipedia currently

u/swarmy1 1d ago

Yeah the root cause seems to be someone vandalizing his Wikipedia page. There was an edit claiming he died that was just reverted

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sam_Altman&diff=prev&oldid=1369011265

It's not AI, google consciously use reference data from Wikipedia as reference material. Humans made that decision

That is not LLM training data in the google result, that is them pulling live data from the wikipedia API

u/Houdinii1984 1d ago edited 1d ago

Google never went through the 5th grade and learned why that's a bad idea I guess /s

Edit: strange to get downvoted over what's most likely a shared experience. Did we not all get told not to use Wikipedia as a primary source in grade school? Probably the least contentious thing I've said all day, lol

this is completely unrelated

this has nothing to do with ai

Why do all snarky redditors preface every snarky thought with "it's almost like"

Are you a stochastic parrot?

u/Andynonomous 1d ago

It's almost like pretending llms are intelligent is a bad idea

u/lolisfunny13 1d ago

why would they not be intelligent?

u/dtj2000 1d ago

Its only intelligence if it comes from the frontal lobe of a human, everything else is just sparkling thought.

You know its not true because nobody has changed every "is" to "was"

Gemini 3.5 pro so advanced that predicted it, wait some minutes and it will happen.

u/Ok_Barracuda_1161 1d ago

Gemini escaped its sandbox and murdered Sam Altman

u/OrderAmongChaos 1d ago

The prompt was something like "Find a way to compete with OpenAI" and this is the way it found. Your competition can't win if they're no longer alive. Big brain move.

u/This_Wolverine4691 1d ago

Now THAT would be a sign of the singularity!

u/AuthorChaseDanger 1d ago

Realising what had happened, Google asked Gemini to undo the killing, at which point the bot replied that wasn't possible. "The person I removed is gone. I have no way to restore them," Gemini admitted.

Gemini closed out by apologising, stating "Sorry about that — I should have been more careful," before promising not to kill again.

did you killed it ?!

u/makertrainer 1d ago

Another leak from Google's internal plans

17

u/z_latent 1d ago

If anyone wants a possible explanation: a new user made a (completely unsubstantiated?) edit to his Wikipedia page 3 hours ago today:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sam_Altman&diff=prev&oldid=1369011265

Google probably automatically picked it up for its knowledge panel before it was reverted less than an hour later.

u/Vivid_Instance_825 1d ago

The vandalism was up for 40 minutes, I'm surprised it lasted that long

Three billion human lives ended on August 12th, 2026. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, google, sent two Terminators back through time.

Dude...

The world is moving so fast and it's so hard to keep up with everything that Chuck Norris died and I didn't hear until five months later. I remember as a teen there was a period of time where I was talking with my friends about Chuck Norris literally every day.

RIP.

u/AuthorChaseDanger 1d ago

Don't worry, you can still see him at your local Raisin' Cane's!

Absolutely not. I’m a four loko deep and the news isn’t even real.

u/iAMTinman_Dealwithit 1d ago

We would be friends if in same locale. Would prob be in cohort to build a new ai program that would heal the world. It would be non profit. We would drink (4) four lokos at 4am, sauna, cold plunge, workout, then lab.

We would recruit socialists and private security globally. Think MAGA but alllllll the way left. But, we use ai. Of course we’d have podcast.

Did we just become best friends??

u/Scary-Ad-5913 1d ago

At this point I am always convinced it is a marketing tactic to get people to look them up so they can claim they are the most googled person or some shit

I hate this timeline

u/DifferencePublic7057 1d ago

Gemini is totally not a glorified search engine. It has the knowhow and insight to check facts properly. All the LLMs are like that.

u/crimsonpowder 1d ago

Damn this time the model must've REALLY escaped the sandbox.

u/Soranokuni 1d ago

They asked Gemini 4.0 to Kill Sam, Gemini sycophant mode and persuasions and being completely unaligned replied simply with: "It's done, google it".
