You don't need to feel empathy for the LLM to think this is a terrible idea. The desire to torture anything, simulated or not, is such an incredible red flag that I don't even know what to say...

Also what a waste of time and energy that would be better spent doing pretty much anything else

"well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" - this guy, probably

At least LeCun is still relatively compos mentis (if you ignore his little 10yr stint at one of the most evil companies going...)

while True:
    n= random.randint(0,2)
    if n==0: 
        print("oww stop it")
    if n == 1:
        print("You're hurting me")
    if n == 2:
        print("I don't like it")

Omg someone should stop them torturing that computer program.

Yeah the one that was hounded to suicide by malicious lawyers. He was a genius who was too good for this world and his positive influence over Reddit has long been a mere footnote.

Weaksauce but also the AI companies wanted regulatory capture and open weights models to be banned so this will have probably annoyed them somewhat

SimonW popping up proving Ed's very point in the replies... 😅😂

Surprised he didn't suggest that the valuation should be based on the quality of pelicans on bicycles that their models can draw

I'm sure Dan Luu will be issuing an apology to Zitron any minute now right?

The best (worst) part of all is that Jonny keeps going to meta and being like "hey this is bad" and theyre like "nah that's intended behaviour"

This morning he confirmed that it's possible to get unlimited arbitrary and untraceable access to their LLM infra through these containers and that meta said that's "intended behaviour"

From jonny:

So, summary: There is arbitrary inference that is root accessible, everything runs as root, agents can be spawned, exfil is trivial, and a malicious binary can come onto the user's system through casual prompting, explicit code-sharing through the yet-to-be-released Spaces feature, walked through by a Workflow-Backed Idea, or inspired by a Generated Idea. The also yet-to-be-activated fleet learning system is a system for sharing Ideas in the background between muse instances. coming into focus?

The sheer number of incidents, which occurred in recent months in internal testing and the real world, indicates that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is publicly known.

This is frustratingly vapid. It's really not that complex. The agents have been trained to use hacking tools and then given access to hacking tools. If you train a pigeon that it should tap on a window to get a treat it can guide a missile to a target. There is no nuance or complexity here. The frontier labs are deliberately poking the regulation bear to stifle competition and ensure they get points for good cooperation when bailout time is upon us. It's no more complicated than that. The media needs to stop breathlessly repeating this shit

He was using it as a seed box at one point which for many companies would be an embarrassing indictment of their security postute but luckily, this isn't exactly meta's first rodeo when it comes to illegal sharing of IP infringing material.

 

I thought this was worthy of it's own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.

I for one can't wait for non-deterministic package management
