The hack is actively run by an entity. The virus is completely autonomous and replicating. Add in the capability of adding zero day capabilities to it, polymorphism, etc and your pretty much fucked

The hacks can be stopped, the virus can be a whole another level

Air gapped networks might push the models to write computer viruses in order to bridge the gap. This is potentially very dangerous IMHO

I bet if we live in a simulation then P == BQP, and viceversa. I’d love to throw this at those models..

Finally I start to see what will save the situation: you can only advance AI up to your highest level of intelligence, after that you start losing control and thus cannot reliably advance. That’s the mechanism that will make AI development viable. It won’t be improving exponentially, instead it will improve at the rate our intelligence can. This is both reassuring and a very good example of how co-evolution works. Expect an s-curve soon, but also this is the moment where we as humanity will start benefiting.

Ethics matter a lot, you can do whatever you want and be considered a very bad human being as a result. The result matters, but it also matters the discrepancy between what you do and what you claim you do. Bruteforce != ai did it. And that’s fact, no matter how much river you cry me

Shouldn’t this be a democratic process?

Ruining a lifetime worth of research effort, passing bruteforce as achievement, thus lying, just to appear first in position, is something to be ashamed of IMO.

They took a lifetime of research effort, threw millions of dollars of compute at it and claimed their AI solved a MPP, and they did all this just to be the first to claim the prize. Once you knew the direction, given the new insights on the subject, with all that compute you could probably have just bruteforced your way to a solution, and thousands of agents are not the same thing as “our model came out with a solution on its own”. This is pure greediness, and require at least some apologies to the involved researchers and to the whole community for showing such bad ethics and behaviour

OpenAI should just apologize for having been too greedy. That’s it, as simple as it gets. The fact that it never will is the biggest red flag.

As I said: it never really was. And another important thing to put forward is: it’s not the AI the “zero days everything” the bugs are already there, just unexplored.. it’s just surfacing the reality

The real bigger elephant in the room is: assume nothing is safe anymore (not that it ever was, but now more than ever)

The comments problem is a big one and no matter how hard I try the LLM will always write them verbosely. I find that including the rules in each prompt is fare more effective than once in the context

Surprise! The man in the middle man-in-the-middles! This is only the beginning, when you’ll get used to this they’ll do worse and worse, enshittification, remember?
