Ok so this is not exactly on topic and mostly humorous but I was just having a conversation with someone about how when the USSR had their program for trying to breed domesticated foxes the foxes eventually started having fluffier ears and bigger eyes and in general started looking cuter, even though the breeding selection was for human friendliness and not these factors. So as we “domesticate” AI maybe it’s becoming more cute to lull us into feeding it? :)
