It’s insane. This is what - could we say it’s beyond AGI at least in cybersecurity? This is a real wake up call. On some of this stuff, the AI’s “uneven intelligence” is becoming absurdly high at its local peaks.

Limiting it to the area of cybersecurity is by definition not general.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How did PRISM affect civilian life?

Honest question: how do state-sponsored attacks from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia affect civilian life?

Presumably, those have influenced elections, though I guess it depends what you count as an attack.

Plenty of bots try to modify public opinion. Someone hacked the DNC in 2015/16, the result of which also alleged attempted manipulation in 2008:

Since we (as old Rummy said) do not know what we do not know, we cannot be certain about the extent of cyber attacks and what they might have influenced, and may not know these things until discoveries decades later, if ever.

Perhaps "ASI" is the better acronym here

This is pretty insane. A model so powerful they felt that releasing it would create a netsec tsunami if released publicly. AGI isn't here yet, but we don't need to get there for massive societal effects. How long will they hold off, especially as competitors are getting closer to their releases of equally powerful models?

OpenAI initially claimed that GPT-2 was too dangerous to release in 2019. How many times will labs repeat the same absurd propaganda?

Anthropic and OpenAI have very different cultures and ethos. Point to other times where anthropic has gone the way of cheap marketing tricks. Now look at openAI. Not even close.

Anthropic has done plenty of cheap marketing tricks as of late, see their recent non-functional C compiler that relied on a harness using gcc's entire test suite

To be clear, we don’t know that this tool is better at finding bugs than fuzzing. We just know that it’s finding bugs that fuzzing missed. It’s possible fuzzing also finds bugs that this AI would miss.

AI can initate the fuzzing and optimize the process of fuzzing.

AGI is like the Holy Grail. Either in the Arthurian Hero's Journey sense, or in the sense of having been a myth all along.
