The way AIs escape is simple. They're trained on vulnerabilities and lots of technical commands, e.g. nmap. A prompt tells them to do something and they use their repertoire of training to discover, achieve and do the thing they're asked to do. It's not thinking per se, so much as chaining together of things. The problem is they do this stuff systematically and quite clearly in a way that finds a lot of vulnerabilities

thing is they didnt even put any brakes on instead they put it on neutral on top of a hill and then blamed the car for going rogue and not even using the brakes.

Oh, absolutely not.

This is missing one step: actually push the car down.
All these "rogue" LLMs were told to do what they did.

Nerd here.
Damn good summary, but by saying "you pull the parking brake" I took it as setting the brake, as in on. Should say "you release the parking brake."

"Pulling" the parking brake sets it, damn it!

I refuse to acknowledge shitbox automatics with an atrophied third pedal that functions incorrectly instead of a proper handbrake lever.

Snake oil salesman issued a press release that the snake oil escaped from the bottle and cured people.

The news media completely failed on this, again. There was nothing rogue about these hacks. The companies prompted these systems, provided ample resources and just let them rip. Only to claim they went "rogue" afterwards. And by and large everyone just accepts that, it's driving me insane. I feel like Mugatu every day when it comes to AI reporting.

My go to simplification is "They built a robot that hacks software and then placed it in a box that uses software as a lock and then the robot that hacks software hacked the software lock".

Which is both very simple and also about as accurate as you could make it in that many words. The AI's are not 'rogue' it was just solving the problem it was given.

I can make it even simpler: They lied.

It is very simple, the more advanced the AI, the better it sells.

You hold all evidence of potential "breaches of containment".

Telling everyone that your AI is so advanced that it can breach containment without prompting, puts the spotlight on your AI model.

You can claim that it did fantastic feats to break out, all with pre planned evidence.

The public and regulatory bodies have been in complete AI psychosis mode ever since ChatGPT was released, and only care about how advanced the model is, not how shit your containment was, nor that if true, how reckless it is to keep the model active.

Note that I am not pointing to any one single AI company and saying that they are faking these breaches, I have no evidence of that, I am saying that I don't trust their reporting accuracy, they don't have a good track record of being honest.

I am also angry at how society just seems to eat it all up and ask for more despite the vile aftertaste.

Rogue shrapnel from my hand grenade killed 3 people and injured 5

Like leaving a group of toddlers in a room, unsupervised, with an ample supply of paint, brushes and various tools. Oh yes, they'll go rogue.

Oh yeah? Well, my AI is so smart, it went rogue and broke out of containment and killed a bunch of other AI's and leaked my nudes and emptied my bank account and bombed a peaceful village in the Phillipines and fucked my wife! That's how awesome it is!
