TranscriptExplain it to me like I’m 80

Mom: What’s with these AIs escaping and hacking people? That sounds scary.

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says “please be good” and then you pull the parking brake. The car careens down the hill, smashes everything up, and you put out a press release saying “My car ignored my instructions! It hallucinated! It went rogue!” Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests a hundred million dollars in your company.

Mom: Jesus Fucking Christ

This is disinformation and propaganda. Here is a brief independent investigation one of these cases.

The agents did create exploits and they did find ways to communicate with each other and organized and hypothesized and collaborated together. This is not a car rolling downhill.

People here are delusional. Reality or facts are apparently not important if it's your tribe's ideology in question. Everything for the hivemind lol. No better than climate change deniers or magats.

    Accessing a filesystem directory they had the permission to access -> exploit

    Connecting to a reachable, passwordless/keyless server -> exploit

    Finding credentials to the servers of a company that accidently uploaded their credentials online -> exploit

    They did what they were told to do, they just did it in an unexpected way. It's not a car rolling downhill, but it's not "rogue" either.

    What this shows is that chatbots can be prompted to work together on hacking projects, but it doesn't imply some kind of agency.

    "independent" lol

    Just like the "independent" arbitrators and "independent" studies that corporations buy all the time.

    Nobody believes this "bro! the Matrix is real!" horseshit. Altman and his gang of tech billionaire co-conspirators have lost the plot. No grasp of reality or how the world works. None whatsoever.
