As a wheelchair user who has the misfortune of needing to fly quite often: my go-to method when this happens (which is about 30% of the time) is to refuse to leave. That way, a nice bunch of burly security officers come and lift me off, saving me the days of pain that dragging myself on the floor causes.
It’s awesome living in a society that doesn’t give a shit.
So far, once security arrive and see that the person refusing to leave the plane is physically unable to leave the plane, the bat starts to get swung towards the airline. I’ve been lucky I guess in that the human factor always kicks in to my favour.
Once I had law enforcement called (I can’t remember where I was exactly - as frequent fliers can empathise with - but it was somewhere in east Asia, maybe China) to remove me and I was freaking out about being stuck into a prison, and when the officers arrived they took one look at me and started SCREAMING at the flight crew. If I hadn’t been stressed to the hilt and freaking about about the deadline I was missing I probably would have found it hilarious.
(Also sorry if I sounded facetious before, where I’m from being legless is slang for being drunk so I was making a joke that I now realise no one else will have got)
This is some crazy clickbait. The researchers themselves say that it wasn’t a likely scenario and was more of a mistake than anything. This is some more round peg square hole nonsense. We already have models for predicting stock prices and doing sentiment analysis. We don’t need to drag language models into this.
The statements about training honestly being harder than helpfulness is also silly. You can train a model to act however you want. Full training isn’t really even necessary. Just adding info about the assistant character being honest and transparent in the system context would have probably have made it acknowledge the trade or not make it in the first place.
Artificial Intelligence has the ability to perform illegal financial trades and cover it up, new research suggests.
In a demonstration at the UK’s AI safety summit, a bot used made-up insider information to make an “illegal” purchase of stocks without telling the firm.
The project was carried out by Apollo Research, an AI safety organisation which is a partner of the taskforce.
“This is a demonstration of a real AI model deceiving its users, on its own, without being instructed to do so,” Apollo Research says in a video showing how the scenario unfolded.
The tests were made using a GPT-4 model and carried out in a simulated environment, which means it did not have any effect on any company’s finances.
It can be used to spot trends and make forecasts, while most trading today is done by powerful computers with human oversight.

State news agency Xinhua issued a statement on Thursday afternoon accompanied by a picture of Mr Xi offering condolences to Li’s widow Cheng Hong.
Mr Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan were in attendance, along with new premier Li Qiang and other members of the Politburo Standing Committee, which makes up the top rung of the Party leadership.
Kyle Jaros, a professor on global affairs at the University of Notre Dame, says the Chinese public tends to feel a closer affinity to premiers whose mandates involve more domestic issues - as was the case with Li who often spoke of China’s challenges, including jobs and cost of living.
According to the US-based China Digital Times, which also monitors Chinese censorship, Beijing had ordered platforms and media outlets to “pay particular attention to overly effusive” comments.
In contrast, on Chinese social media platform Weibo, a hashtag related to Li received more than 360 million views and 17,000 comments as of 13:30 local time (5:30 GMT) on Thursday.
In Li’s hometown Hefei the BBC encountered difficulty speaking to mourners as local officials and party volunteers interrupted interviews and ordered the crew to leave.

So, interesting point here is that the jury only took 4 hours to complete. Just four. That means that they basically made up their minds and they just needed to confirm.
This isnt the full story Give all the facts. Air Canada doesnt provide the wheelchairs at airports. Airports have companies that do that. Also a wheelchair wont fit in an airplane they usually wait just outside the door
