A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

_**In a statement published today, OpenAI said it had historically treated model misalignment as a research issue, with findings communicated through research papers and system cards.

The company said it considered the wiki activity another example of "misalignment" similar to behaviors it had previously discussed, rather than an incident requiring a dedicated public disclosure.

OpenAI's own wording suggests a wider footprint than the researchers documented, describing the episode as one "where our agents wrote to several internet sites."**_

Don't you just love the unaccountably.

If nobody receives a criminal conviction for illegal hacking, then there was no hacking.

So pick one. Is it illegal hacking? Or is it marketing? You can't choose both.

I wish you were right.

I mean, so far they seem to be doing just that!

Imagine how many bots run rogue we'll never know about, because it's not a big company and just some AI simp running this on their own machine.

The internet is dead. What on earth will we do about it?!?

Treat it as the plague that it is and finally go outside

That's very good advice, reading this while I plan a hiking trip 😊

AI will certainly invade those, too.
