OpenAI ~~models~~ employees hacked a crypto wallet and breached more websites

C'mon, if a robot fucks up, the homie that turned it on has got to be held responsible.

Someone promoted something of the task. Someone had the safeties off. Someone gave an instruction that was interpreted as requesting this.

Humans caused it. Period. Maybe negligently, maybe intentionally. But they can be charged with crimes, if the authorities care to do so.

Yep.

This is like saying "blowtorches cut open safes, causing millions lost in gold bars"...

Raid OpenAI and drag out the servers where the offending AI lives. Then kill it on a live streamed firing squad. Maybe bomb a few data centers to set an example on how we deal with digital terrorists.

Reposted this. Same ideas theory applies.

More fear tactics from the creators. Why would Anthropic warn us on stuff that would hurt the integrity of their product right before their IPO? They wouldn’t unless it benefited them.

They want government regulations in place not to protect us. They want them to slow down any future competition to help monopolize the market.

The "veil" in front of the computer fraud campaigns OpenAI is quite purposefully engaging in grows thinner.

This is more Epstein class behavior, they're breaking the rules on purpose and in public to show they're untouchable. They sadly appear to be right.

“Model trained by company that cheats to win and said ‘do not trust us’ cheats to win and cannot be trusted. More at 11.”

Looks like they turning to banditry to make their money back. AI can't steal gold I guess
