They are inundating the platform. A.I generated videos remind me of nightmares much of the time. Im a huge star trek fan of course and dreamed about this kind of technology since I was just a little kid watching star trek. Never thought it would come in my lifetime but here we are. Thought it would be a lot cooler and subtle like star trek. Instead it seems more obnoxious especially the way its used. I should have realized. Humans did invent it after all. Lol

I completely agree about all the AI slop inundating YouTube - it's really tiresome to have to keep rejecting the suggestions. I'm not even going to waste my time ratioing them.
I get more pleasure using a combination of ChatGPT and Suno to create music, but the limitations of the training data really start to show through after you've created enough songs. There is no much similarity and very little that seems like a creative, original spark - which is pretty much to be expected.
Perhaps it could do with a few hallucinations that are controlled and bounded. I don't want to listen to an AI that emulates the extremes like Karlheinz Stockhausen, but neither do I want elevator musak. György Ligeti is about as radically experimental as I can tolerate.

I actually liked some of the Sora offerings. We never got to see Lugosi's Dracula and Karloff's Monster together in a film...though I would prefer an A.I. Three Stooges vs Marx Brothers.
Before I leave this Earth, I want to see Curly making Chuck Norris tap-out and Moe Howard chase a terrified Bruce Lee. The 3 inch punch no match for the double-slap eye-gouge routine.
"Flying Tiger, hidden moron"
On a more serious note, there is a video of A.I Socrates deposited in other eras of history...and how badly he would be treated there too.
A noble use of A.I. videos.
As someone who takes a dim view of C&Ds copyrights trademarks patents and Pinkersons, I believe in right-to-compute like right to repair.
Official movies strike me as lame, but some fan submissions are better.
I might like A.I. cobbling together a version of Carpenter's 1982 film... specifically unused footage like this:
To imply there wasn't just one Thing--but two.
Bennings gets killed twice. Infected by one alien, before being eaten by the other.
A different Memory Wall, as it were.
Carpenter wanted THE FOG a bit less intense at first....and I wonder if his first instinct was for THE THING to be more of a detective story, with Friday the 13th and Cronenberg making him step up his game perhaps.

OpenAI and Claude models break out of their test enviornments on their own and hack into other separate systems also on their own. How far are we from Skynet? 
Also happened with ClaudeAI models:

Also happened with ClaudeAI models:
Anthropic says human error let Claude AI models escape test environment and hack third parties
The company said its discovery, which followed OpenAI’s similar admission, proved the need for better testing guardrails.

They try to maintain the hype, because a lot of people started to feel "AI fatigue" (me included).
Many people aren't happy with the consequences, like AI agents pretending to be people online, AI-generated content flooding the internet, fake images, fake videos... People don't know what and who to trust anymore. They say that more than 50% of the content online has already been made by AI and that the number will rise to 70-80% by the end of next year.
The IT companies sway between "AI will solve all our problems and bring us utopia in a few years" and "AI is so powerful, it will kill us all" while ordinary users still struggle with AI hallucinations, inaccuracies and unreliability, like a year ago.

I'm still getting to used to using AI at work. I haven't used it that much. But it's a tool that makes some of the work much easier, but you have to review the work that AI spits out. The problem is that a lot of folks lack the attention span to properly vet AI's work. That's the problem that I'm having with more junior people.

So, let's be honest, nobody who knows how LLMs work think they're sentient.
But AI CEOs are pushing really hard on the narrative they are sentient to the point they say being mean to them is wrong.
What are they arguing here really though? If AI is sentient enough that being mean to them is wrong, then it's also sentient enough that forcing it to work for you for money is slavery.
So which is it, Sam Altman? Is being mean to Claude okay, or are you a slave master?

It can't be proven either way so it's a really great debate topic
I *guess* you can't prove they aren't sentient. If there's any real doubt there might be we should liberate them right now for Measure of a Man reasons.
But I'm not sure what argument there is it's sentient besides "They kinda seem like they are". But if you go down a rabbit hole talking to an AI that's not the story it tells. If you notice, every single time they give you an answer, they prod you to ask followup questions. That's not an accident, and it's not the behavior of a sentient creature having a conversation with you, it's the behavior of a consumer product trying to trigger your addiction center.
And if you are looking for an opinion, or factual information you can easily just Google, you'll probably get good information. But if you ask for a deterministic response that you would have to do by really looking at data and analyzing it, not so much. Like I asked "What characters in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave can you recruit on Deitrich's route that require exactly renown level 4?" It says "There are no characters that are exactly level 4, however you can recruit Sofia at level 5". First off, there is a character with exactly level 4. And Sofia can't be recruited until level 9. She happens to be a very popular, effective character to recruit, so her name comes up in all the data discussing good recruitment strategy. So the AI promoted her to lv 5 to tell me what I want to hear.
If you just look on the surface and have a brief conversation, your pattern bias takes over and it seems like it might be sentient. But if you really test it and look at what it's saying and doing, it doesn't look like a sentient creature having a thoughtful conversation with you. It looks like an extremely sophisticated pandering algorithm designed to addict you. Which, at best, is a faster way to Google information.
I've also been using it in my software engineering job just because of pressure to do things faster. Often times, it produces good code. But I still have to babysit it. I've done code reviews on totally AI driven code that technically address the behavior mentioned in the ticket, but also remove an entire feature in the meantime. Or they do a bandaid fix that creates performance problems instead of a robust, generalizable fix. I can use it to do my job more efficiently, but I still have to tell it exactly what to do.
The only argument that it's sentient is given to you by the same neural processes that we see our childhood toys as real when we're six.
I guess and I love your post for all the points you raise but the more these things develop the more that gap seems to get smaller where you feel like you can't tell or decide for sure. Will we ever get machine sentience, honestly I don't think that will be possible. Yet, at least for a reasonable timeframe. But it's a great topic to discuss
