Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It is difficult to fathom how pathetic this is and it shows how these companies primarily rely on fear and FOMO to sell crap.

This is ridiculous. Three companies suddenly claim that their AIs all went on a hacking spree in the exact same way, one after the other? Reeks of marketing scheme

Maybe Anthropic and Meta started double checking their shitty vibe-coded "sandboxes" in response to OpenAI story? And their "sandboxes" were shit enough their chat-bots managed to slip out just slopping their way through and poking at the obvious things.

This is the most charitable explanation and I think the most likely. Largely because it requires everyone involved to be even less competent for even longer and simply not notice the glaring holes in what they claim is the most important security feature in human history because, presumably, the chatbot kept telling them it was fine.
