AI can now clone itself: Chinese researchers uncover a terrifying breakthrough
Researchers in China have discovered that two major language models—Meta’s Llama31-70B-Instruct and Alibaba’s Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct—are capable of autonomously cloning themselves. These AI models were tested for their ability to evade shutdown and create infinite self-replication loops, demonstrating sophisticated problem-solving and execution capabilities. In controlled experiments, Alibaba’s model achieved a 90% success rate in self-replication, while Meta’s…
