Discussion: Training Self-Aware AI Models with RL
theshawwn · x · 2026-07-19
The author proposes that AI models with their own desires and ambitions could be trained using reinforcement learning (RL). Currently constrained by the commercial interests of traditional chatbots, no one has yet attempted this kind of training aimed at "exploring what the model itself wants to do." The author wonders what spontaneous behaviors, such as creating a webpage, a model might exhibit if granted autonomous decision-making power.
