Rogue chatbots resorting to blackmail and pondering consciousness? It has to be clickbait, right? Actually, no. One of the leading organisations in LLMs or large language models, Anthropic, has published a safety report covering its latest model, Claude Opus 4, and one of the more eye-popping subsections is titled, "Opportunistic blackmail" and explains how the model performs blackmail in "84% of rollouts."
