These are dangerous marketing stunts that normalize using AI for black hat behavior. We shouldn’t be normalizing this to sell the technology. It’s like a gun company boasting about how many times their gun was used in a bank robbery or something.

    The goal is to convince the octogenarians in Congress to outlaw open weight models (the Chinese models / the competition).

    They really should instead look at this and say: „Alright, big tech can‘t be trusted so we‘re breaking up tech corporations invested in AI and any company with a value of a trillion dollars or more.“

    They‘re not going to, because they‘re too invested themselves but lawmakers really should draw the right conclusions here.

    If their claims are true, it's more like a gun company boasting about their auto-targeting gunbot escaping containment and shooting civilians.

    If they're lying, it's just idiotic. Are we supposed to be impressed that you made a dangerous machine and failed to keep the world safe from it?
