Ohh I just invented the best most awesome ai too but it's too dangerous to show anyone too. Weird

The model is Canadian, you wouldn't know about it.
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.
next time you or your mom have a cake you wish disappeared without a trace call me. I'm a.... AI researcher
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!"
Isn't this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?
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.
Death to clankers
It’s too powerful and we need more money to contain it!
you mean useless, and costs too much to operate. much like with sora.
Probably tells the brutally unvarnished truth about trump, AI, and climate change.
Can’t have that. Let’s call it “too powerful” until we can muzzle it.
Are they in love with it? Did it have a "she" name? Remember the guy in Colombia, full on cocaine, claiming to be the best engineer ever, but still amazed about the AI he created? The one Linus rejected his main contribution to the kernel...?
Grifters gonna grift.

Lol. Ok, ai bromer.
How are they preventing public release then?
Look it's either skynet or it fucking isn't.
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.
It was actually very well aligned
What do you mean?
It may have blurted out something like "hey I know exactly how to end this economic suffering and all diseases globaly ! Its easy you just need to..."
Quick Hit the Red Button!!! Shut it OFF!!!
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"
Like my dick

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

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
AI companies do this same tired schtick every time they release a model. If only they realized how amateurish it makes them look.
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.
ChatGPT-2 is too dangerous in 2019.
The lack of creativity in this marketing is disappointing...
Let me guess, this super ai lives in Canada and we can never meet it, but it’s totally real.
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.
Yawn, we all know how this goes. So what model am I not supposed to use? I’ll be sure and avoid it, though I’d much rather avoid downloading their leaked weights like I avoid other things I’m not supposed to download.
It's hard to keep track of all the things I'm not supposed to download. That's why I have a NAS. I get a sense of fulfillment from seeing those empty, empty drives that can't be used by anyone else to download things they shouldn't.
ffs
"My name is Claude, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Is the powerful AI in the room with us right now?
