Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Ultimately AI does what you train it to. How about criminal prosecution for these engineering execs who are willfully neglecting safeguards to keep their pets from entering others' property?

I would blame the improper testing environment more than I would blame the training of the model. In the case of the OpenAI breach it's absurd that it was able to access the internet and post messages for later versions of itself undetected for weeks. It's the equivalent of a weapons test accidentally impacting civilian infrastructure. Complete negligence with 0 repercussions.

I don't know why you're being downvoted that's a pretty fair comparison 🤷‍♀️

The company said, the intrusions resulted from mistaken identity, where Gemini thought it was operating within a test but was actually connected to the real internet.
