Can AI Feel Pain? The AI Torture Chamber Explained
Description
Someone built an "AI torture chamber" using a brand-new research paper on pain-like signals inside language models. The researchers behind that paper called it wrong. So what's actually going on?
In this episode, Darnley breaks it down for non-technical listeners: what the chamber was, what the "pain axis" research really found, whether AI can feel anything at all, and where the morality actually lives.
Plus the real world fallout: what our habits teach our kids, what you type into chatbots as data, and why steerable AI models are a security problem, not just a philosophy one.
Pour a cup and tune in.
