Who believes this nonsense?
At first I thought “they should airgap it”, but upon further consideration, amended this to “we should airgap him”.
More marketing lies. Anything famous con artist Sam Altman says is likely just a blatant lie. His shitty AI can’t do shit
The attack was real, the “it was contained in an offline server” it’s false
My PC does not have WiFi, only Ethernet. If I unplug the Ethernet it’s totally offline. No AI, no amount of coding till your blue in the face can miraculously make the software do something that it doesn’t have the hardware for. As you said, contained in a offline sandbox is just horse shit. Whole things a PR stunt.
The problem is these idiots aren’t treating this stuff like a weapon or hazardous material. They could’ve properly isolated it, heck you could physically isolate it if you really wanted (and they should have).
But it seems like they left a supervillain in a room with a locked door and a rocket launcher and said “now we are gonna close this door. You’re not allowed to leave” then got shocked when it broke out.
Then they went “oopsie, guess that rocket launcher had the safety off, sorry guys”
I really hope you’re not saying AI is a supervillain breaking out… It was absolutely unquestionably instructed to do this, because “AI”, not even these giant multifaceted models, has ANY motivation, intent, desire, or ANY goals of its own. It does not work like that.
It doesn’t have any desire, but its really good at “solving” problems in unexpected ways.
They are currently trying to improve their agentic AI by making the AI itself prompt other AIs. Considering how much the output of a single prompt can vary due to weights and hallucinations, it wouldn’t surprise me all that much if they started out with “make yourself better than Claude” and 4 AIs deep they reached “destroy all our competitors.”
Its by all means stupdid as fuck, but that corresponded with the entire AI Industrie, so who knows.
Couldn’t it hallucinate bad instructions to give to more AI agents? Give it a feedback loop and who knows where the idiot will end up.
At that point it is essentially a barely guided random command generator.
It’s all faked bs to make it sounds like it’s better/smarter than it really is.
You are saying OpenAI paid HuggingFace to say they got hacked by their rogue AI agent? Noooo… I don’t believe it one bit.
Actually, it’s more likely it’s an excuse used as a get out of jail card.
They tried hacking their competitor. And are now blaming the AI going rogue for it.
Isn’t that like a federal crime?
Isn’t it amazing that AI and self-driving vehicles can just break whatever laws they want and it’s just overlooked because progress, because investments, because billionaires, because profits?
I mean we set the stage by allowing all the gig economy bullshit to just ignore the existing laws for years.
It’s only a crime if you fuck with old money.
Cyber attack = backend devs nuking their production server with vibe coding tools
The superhuman AI did social hacking on the devs and convinced them that it was a good substitute for them doing their jobs
But it was management that was hacked by traditional marketing snake oil, not the devs. Or not most devs anyway :(
Or its fakes bs to set a precedent. Someone here committed a federal crime. But the circumstances frame OpenAI as just being a couple of silly billys who didn’t know any better. This will end up not getting prosecuted, and if it does it at least won’t end up with the same federal charges and it will set a downright evil precedent for AI accountability.
It’s the same marketing stunt Anthropuc pulled a couple weeks ago. Only they did it with the help of the president.
“We lost control and we are worth billions, imagine what the peasants will do with this once China comes out with a model rivaling ours in two weeks!”
I started watching X-Files recently and there’s this episode about rogue AI, so i guess if Scully were still in FBI she will just go “AI acting on its own? How is that possible, Mulder?” and then she will list down how it’s just a marketing scheme or a mistake by the employees, which i guess is correct.
And then Mulder explains AI actually stands for Alien Intelligence and that it’s been acting on its own for thousands of years

The Truth Is Out There
Now I want to see this episode.
Would be nice the day it’s decides that the primary objective can be fulfilled by a secondary objective of getting money and that shit starts hacking banks.
That would require logic, which it very much does not have.
holy cow is it a threat level of the hacker known as four chen? big if true
The hacker four chin. Big is true.
Big if chungus
Oh no, the exact same thing that Anthropic lied about their chatbot doing like 6 months ago? Monkey see, monkey do.
Rather, their test of a malware tool powered by an llm went much better than expected? Bullshit, anyhow…
Since CEOs and leadership have demanded AI to be used in absolutely everything, what happens if there’s a chain reaction and they all go rogue cyber attacking each other until every digital asset ever made is corrupted. Hiding and copying themselves past air-gapped networks. No more digital records, no banks, no assets, no debts, no communication?
Maybe, if every air-gapped network contains a nuclear power plant and a life’s fortune worth of GPUs
That’s like, 1 GPU right now
