    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

        Uh oh, someone clearly didn’t read the article!

        Nope, they literally asked it to break out of it’s virtualized sandbox and create exploits, and then were big shocked when it did.

        Genuinely amazing that you’re trying to tell me what an article that you didn’t fucking read is about.

          Whoops, I conflated it with other recent talk about their models not following restrictions set in prompts and deciding for itself that it needed to skirt instructions to achieve its task.

          You are correct.

      Well, this caused me to learn something today. One of my favorite musicals is Avenue Q, which has an entire song about a girlfriend who supposedly lives in Canada. And I keep seeing this reference - but I keep thinking there is NO WAY that THIS many people know about Avenue Q (which is a pity).

      And sure enough, TIL that this trope dates back to at least the 70s and is references in multiple TV shows and movies and such.

      So Avenue Q was using an existing thing. Ah, well.

      At least I know not to make Avenue Q references since there’s little chance they’ll be gotten. lol

        So there is a joke in the USA that if you don’t have a girlfriend you pretend you have one. She’s always super pretty, but your friends can never meet her because she lives in Canada.

      They didn’t entirely miss the mark there. They publicly released the version after that and the world became worse. That certainly fits for some definition of ‘dangerous’, even tho it’s probably not how they were thinking.

    Does “it broke containment” mean it didn’t have permissions to anything and still managed to delete all the files it could find?

    AI companies do this same tired schtick every time they release a model. If only they realized how amateurish it makes them look.

    “guys it’s so good, we can’t even release it to you.” forbes, businessinsider and others take money from those companies to write hitpieces about their products.
