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

Let me guess, this super ai lives in Canada and we can never meet it, but it’s totally real.

ChatGPT-2 is too dangerous in 2019.

The lack of creativity in this marketing is disappointing...

Is the powerful AI in the room with us right now?

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.

I'm pretty sure Scam Altman tried this line some time ago for one of his supposed models.

Does "it broke containment" mean it didn't have permissions to anything and still managed to delete all the files it could find?

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"

AI companies do this same tired schtick every time they release a model. If only they realized how amateurish it makes them look.

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"

But can it start a timer

This is nonsense and just marketing.

Anthropic lies almost about everything too ... weird

Impressive marketing spin on "our product and deployment strategies are wildly insecure."

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.

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.

It's not okey to be adult and fall for the same headline like 4th time.

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.

Grifters gonna grift.

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!

Bullshit

“Hold me back bro! Don’t let me go otherwise there’s no stopping what I could do, I am serious!”

How much do you think was businessinsider paid for this "article"?

I don't think they are lying in the technical sense, it all depends on what they define as "sandbox/continenment" and the nature of their prompts and output.

That being said, the AI Doom is well known propaganda technique used by those who stand to benefit from the hype.

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.

Lol. Ok, ai bromer.

So, it's shit then?

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it's either skynet or it fucking isn't.
