Its a simple infrastructure security issue, instead of taking the responsibility for being lackluster with security they are just giving it a PR spin story.
Resembles a lot with my 8 year old who is so confident about everything
Each time Anthropic would do their nonsense to get headlines about how theoretically dangerous their models were - like when they claimed a model blackmailed someone with emails showing he was cheating, but they basically pushed it as much as possible to do as such - it got me more and more worried. Because eventually it's going to be a boy-who-cried-wolf situation where scary stuff really does start happening but pe…
I don't know if OpenAI thinks this is a marketing / PR angle for them (our super smart AI cheated on a cyber capabilities test in the most _brilliant_ way) but my read is this: Why should OpenAI (or any frontier lab) be building these systems if they can't get a secure environment / containment right? It sounds like there was little defense in depth, appropriate monitoring, or any attempts to have their super smart m…
What disturbs me is that there likely won’t be a big enough reaction to this policy wise. There’s been a relatively big reaction to Kimi K3 and Chinese open weights models, but only for financial reasons. Powerful people care about something that might pop the massive valuations of the AI companies, but not about the damage that AIs could do. Nor even about the damage that the Chinese models could do in the wrong han…

Sam and Dario are saying from the beginning that these things can be dangerous and people dismiss it as marketing. What would change your mind on this?
They've been saying so from the beginning, and yet did not take the basic precaution of airgapping their off-the-leash model while it's been instructed to succeed at a hacking benchmark by any means necessary. So which is it? I _want_ to believe them, I do, but there's always these gaps between what they say and their actions on display that give me reason to think otherwise.
Ironically Hugging Face had to use a Chinese model to stop a Rogue US AI, since the Guard Rails prevented them from using Sol or Fable to remediate this attack. LOL

Why was this test even connected to the public internet? Actually, more importantly—why aren't they saying their next test will be airgapped in light of what happened?
Because they want to talk about how clever this model is for figuring out how to break out, hoping asks why a company pitching itself as a replacement for software engineers can't ship a decent Mac client nor code a sandbox.
If they airgap it, they not only lose that PR angle, they also risk someone taking them seriously and requiring models be airgapped in general. That, in turn, trashes their sales pitch.

This is science fiction, these models don't have access to their own weights (and even then)* what would be a lot more scary is a model as capable as sol that's able to run on consumer hardware without taking up several terabytes of storage, but of course that is simply not possible as we need 4t parameters to even begin emulating a small fraction of what a human brain can do. * edit
> This is science fiction, these models don't have access to their own weights. The models are being used to train, and improve the infrastructure for training, other models [0][1]. Several RL techniques rely on using the currently-being-trained weights as part of their process. I really would not take "don't have access" as a given, especially during the training phase. > What would be a lot more scary is a model as…
This sounds an awful lot like pretending you have AGI so you can drum up your stock price. When you have a couple hundred billion dollars on the line I have zero faith in the messenger.
Huggingface literally reported the outage separately and did not know who caused it at first.

I think all that regulation will do at this point is help the incumbents who are failing. Protectionism. I don't think they deserve that help. I also don't see any reason to think the current administration would have anything resembling competence around this. And it's worth noting that Greg Brockman is a huge MAGA donor, so it's likely the policies would be very corrupt. (Don't worry, he justified his donations as…
This depends on the specific regulation. The datacentre moratoria probably give open-weight models time to catch up by tempering the extent to which the leading companies can turn their capital advantage into market share.
