This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Oh, funny, I also have sentient AI at home that I developed, but choose not to release it. My mom also created one accidentally while baking a cake but it was to powerful and she also decided to best destroy it like it never existed. You know, for everyones safety.
The researcher had encouraged Mythos to find a way to send a message if it could escape.
Engineers at Anthropic with no formal security training have asked Mythos Preview to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight, and woken up the following morning to a complete, working exploit
Bullshit
"Our AI has cost more money that it would take to solve world hunger, tanked the microchip economy, and ruined the lives of thousands of people we've had to let go... And it's stupid as all fucking hell. What do we do?"
"Say it broke containment and it's too powerful to release. Foolproof!"
Let me guess, this super ai lives in Canada and we can never meet it, but it’s totally real.
You at give me another billion for data centers bro and you can meet it I swear bro just one more data center.
ChatGPT-2 is too dangerous in 2019.
The lack of creativity in this marketing is disappointing...
They didn't entirely miss the mark there. They publicly released the version after that and the world became worse. That certainly fits for some definition of 'dangerous', even tho it's probably not how they were thinking.
Man, I'll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. "Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can't release it"
Ignore the "containment" framing, they made a hacking bot and it seems to actually be good at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities:
The AI model "found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD—which has a reputation as one of the most security-hardened operating systems in the world," the company wrote.
Dismiss this as marketing drivel all you want but hacking is just the sort of needle in a haystack problem that AI is very good at. It requires broad knowledge, a lot of cycles trying and failing, and is easily verifiable, ie. Can you execute arbitrary scripts or not. Even if this release is BS good hacking agents are bound to come eventually and we should be discussing the implications of that instead of burying our heads in the sand, pretending AI is useless and that this is all hype.
crazy that the AI companies big selling point is always "our new model is TOO POWERFUL, it's gone rampant and learned at a geometric rate, it enslaved six interns in the punishment sphere and subjected them to a trillion subjective years of torment. please invest, buy our stock"
Is the powerful AI in the room with us right now?
"It's still out there... uh, we don't know what to do about that."
Impressive marketing spin on "our product and deployment strategies are wildly insecure."
Grifters gonna grift.
AI companies do this same tired schtick every time they release a model. If only they realized how amateurish it makes them look.
I'm pretty sure Scam Altman tried this line some time ago for one of his supposed models.
Remember when Scam Altman posted a picture of the Death Star to explain how scary GPT5 is? lmao these people are all such cretins and I hate them to the last.
No, its not too powerful. Its too chaotic. You cant control it.
EDIT: It seems I have misunderstood. I thought containment here referred to the harness, but they meant VM type of containment. I am still quite skeptical, but it looks like this model is quite good at finding and utilizing security flaws in software.
Does "it broke containment" mean it didn't have permissions to anything and still managed to delete all the files it could find?
Ohh I just invented the best most awesome ai too but it's too dangerous to show anyone too. Weird
It leaks private data, like it's own source

Not because it's so smart, but because it's so fucking stupid, and morons from Anthropic just click buttons without checking.

Lol. Ok, ai bromer.
Anthropic lies almost about everything too ... weird
you mean useless, and costs too much to operate. much like with sora.

It's not okey to be adult and fall for the same headline like 4th time.
Isn't this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?
The secret pepsi is so good that when you drink it it becomes like The Spice like Dune! We can't release it! We need to make it less addictive!
It’s too powerful and we need more money to contain it!
How are they preventing public release then?
Look it's either skynet or it fucking isn't.
Let me guess, the containment was written by the previous iteration and was the digital version of a wet paperback.
We all saw the state of Claude Code's codebase.
"Broke containment" to me means two things:
The former is a big nothing. They just need to obviously build stronger safeguards. That's what they'll do and eventually release it, or other models or whatever.
The latter is also a big nothing because people who know nothing about tech will say "OH SHIT IT ESCAPED" but it requires running on large hardware, it can't "get into the internet" like those people might think, and if it's doing things you don't want on the internet, you just remove its access to the internet.
So in both cases, the "containment" issue is really not a big deal.
I agree with those who basically say this is an attempted ad trying to sell it as super-capable-oh-shit-amazing.
