They didn't entirely miss the mark there. They publicly released the version after that and the world became worse. That certainly fits for some definition of 'dangerous', even tho it's probably not how they were thinking.

Hah I actually remembered this too, and people were still hyping Elon Musk at the time as well.

TBF the researchers knew what they had could be scaled into something gamebreaking which is how we got ChatGPT-3, but OpenAI made it sound like they already had it nailed down several years before it actually blew up. I think their unreleased examples they gave were a newspaper and short story written by AI which they said was indistinguishable from human material.

Yeah they said it from the start 'it's so powerful gyus we are scared uwu'. And antropic is a literal ai cult.

I would love to see the exploit. There are vulnerabilities discovered everyday that amount to very little in terms of use in real world implementations.

Echoing back "I am alive" isn't on the same level as saying "find a vulnerability" and the agent finding and executing that vulnerability. One a toddler can do, the other requires a lot of technical expertise.

That’s hilarious but the post is about the ai not doing what it’s told. You know?

Like my dick

Roko's basilisk wasn't meant to be a brag!

You at give me another billion for data centers bro and you can meet it I swear bro just one more data center.

It goes to a different school than you.

We do have a shitty ai data center up here, only about as super as a supermarket tho.

Well, this caused me to learn something today. One of my favorite musicals is Avenue Q, which has an entire song about a girlfriend who supposedly lives in Canada. And I keep seeing this reference - but I keep thinking there is NO WAY that THIS many people know about Avenue Q (which is a pity).

And sure enough, TIL that this trope dates back to at least the 70s and is references in multiple TV shows and movies and such.

So Avenue Q was using an existing thing. Ah, well.

At least I know not to make Avenue Q references since there's little chance they'll be gotten. lol

What? Do you think

AI company claims…

Isn‘t convincing? What gave it away? /s

next time you or your mom have a cake you wish disappeared without a trace call me. I'm a.... AI researcher

It may have blurted out something like "hey I know exactly how to end this economic suffering and all diseases globaly ! Its easy you just need to..."

Quick Hit the Red Button!!! Shut it OFF!!!

It was actually very well aligned

Roughly

"Our AI has cost more money that it would take to solve world hunger, tanked the microchip economy, and ruined the lives of thousands of people we've had to let go... And it's stupid as all fucking hell. What do we do?"

"Say it broke containment and it's too powerful to release. Foolproof!"

Have you read what they have to say? They make a fairly convincing argument.

Scam Altman

😆

I dunno, but I could use some paid advertisement on news sites like this to promote my business if it aint too expensive. Think the money in the banana stand is enough?

We need AI or else we'll have nothing to protect us from... AI.

AI exploit mining is one of the only things it's good for. It doesn't have to be accurate it just has to keep trying variations of common flaws and it has tons of training data on how the system is interconnected. we're going to have so many RCEs and LPEs the next few years but people are also gonna burn 100k in tokens to find exploits worth 3k so efficiency will be interesting

Shit, i guess we better rewrite EVERYTHING in RUST!

I wrote an incredibly powerful "AI". I call it the "Super Intelligent brute force password hacker"... It's so smart that it knows almost every password. Humanity stands no chance.

no no no. It's too good. It's so good, no one can use it.

"Broke containment" to me means two things:

1. Doing things against the safeguards
2. Doing things externally - like sending that email

The former is a big nothing. They just need to obviously build stronger safeguards. That's what they'll do and eventually release it, or other models or whatever.

The latter is also a big nothing because people who know nothing about tech will say "OH SHIT IT ESCAPED" but it requires running on large hardware, it can't "get into the internet" like those people might think, and if it's doing things you don't want on the internet, you just remove its access to the internet.

So in both cases, the "containment" issue is really not a big deal.

I agree with those who basically say this is an attempted ad trying to sell it as super-capable-oh-shit-amazing.
