  • Couldn't find the reference but I remember some time ago a first generation automated gun killing the audience at an army show. Was the gun maker convicted of manslauther?

    --edit-- Was a bit older than I remembered: https://slashdot.org/story/07/10/18/1847231/robotic-cannon-l...

  • I cannot understand why these companies haven't faced legal consequences yet. For example, OpenAI has admitted to hacking Australia's Medicare website and the reaction is that they talk with Sam Altman about it at a UN meeting? I understand that it's not a big security incident but cordial talking at the highest diplomatic level instead of prosecuting the company, really?

  • Why do we assume "rogue"? At this point it's just accepting their marketing at face value

  • These attacks are a very effective sales pitch to everyone who runs an internet facing service to utilize AI tools to secure it sooner rather than later. The cynic in me wonders if the marketing team had any influence over the poorly constructed sandboxes or tasks given to the agent swarms when all this went down…

  • "rogue AI" is making a lot of heavy lifting there.

    If you drive drunk and you have an accident that alcohol may be a factor but you are at fault.

    There are no "rogue AIs" just irresponsible corporations.

  • If I created software that was infiltrating secure systems without permission and it was attributed to me and I admitted it, I'd be behind bars already.

    Why is OpenAI getting away with crimes?

  • I love this Nathan Calvin quote that accompanied the second publicized attack:

    > If you find two ants in your kitchen, the best estimate of the total number of ants in your kitchen is not two

  • I listened to Jensen Huang's interview with Ezra Klien and it was so refreshing to hear it from an engineer. Jensen framed it as OpenAI's responsibility and recklessness which I agree with. Jensen thinks it's an engineering problem to build better sandboxes.

    It's irresponsible for OpenAI to give unaligned agents a prompt to 'go hack' and internet access. They know better, so I am thinking they might have other intentions to let those swarms have any sort of internet access.
