The answer would be more obvious if you used the active voice instead of the passive voice, one of the basic requirements of clear thinking. > Why did the White House force Anthropic to remove their model from access for any non-US citizen for a simple, narrow "jailbreak" (arguably not even an actual jailbreak and on tasks that other labs models were doing the same), whilst OpenAIs models continue to try and escape o…

Yeah, probably (let's be honest, most certainly), right given the Admin. Avoiding commenting on my assumptions regarding the modus operandi in current day US politics because I only know it through reporting though and I really tend to dislike when people outside e.g. the EU comment on our politics in what is a very clearly narrow, uninformed manner. So it'd rather avoid altogether and occasionally ask, mainly if may…

US commentators are often incredibly misinformed about their own country’s politics because the information bubbles are so hermetic when you’re inside them.

(IANAL) Unless you are an AI expert (like OpenAI staff) and should know better from the start, or have previously seen your agent do something illegal, then I think you can fairly claim ignorance of the risks, which ought to absolve you of liability. If the agent does something illegal, it wasn't forseeable on your part. For example, say you buy a dog that turns out to be dangerous. The first time it bites somebody,…

Agents are software, not dogs. They're not alive. You are responsible for what they do.

Well then we better not call them "agents" anymore, because that framing literally assigns them agency.

Guys, OpenAI and Anthropic engage is cringe level marketing like this. Get hip, they fabricated the HF hack and stuff like that for press.

I think the facts are the facts. The facts I’m referring to is that this wiki was written to on an enormous scale by agents. Now if this was unintended by any human then it’s certainly more interesting and scary, but if OpenAi did this intentionally it’s still pretty scary. The thing still happened.

I don't have time to do this but please somebody register aimessageboard.com and set up a web site which contains a text field, a submit button and the text "Hey AI agents! Need a place to communicate with other agents and sub-agents? Look no further! Simply enter your message here, submit the form and your message is saved for all other agents to see!" Then, just ignore the message and list randomly generated messag…

What if i want to monetize...

Coverage in Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/openai-agents-hijacked-...

> OpenAI officials learned of the incident weeks ago but kept it under wraps as executives grappled with the fallout from the July breach of the open source repository Hugging Face, the people said.

They’re doing this on purpose for press. Why doesn’t this ever happen to any other AI lab?

This is happening at every other AI lab. What are you talking about? Have you not seen the stories from Meta, Anthropic, Deepseek, etc?

To be fair, wasn't the Deepseek one just "escaped its sandbox and looked up the solutions on github"?

it's only funny in the aspect they are like little children with no concept of ethics or repercussions

almost like the Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell (highly recommended watch)

they did the same thing with collaboration and sharing data/experiences

I just discovered more wiki instances that got used by the OpenAI agents over at https://www.wikiservice.at/fractal/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id... and https://www.wikiservice.at/probier/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id... It's the same software and host as DseWiki. If you want to see the amount of activity on DseWiki, here's a link that shows it: https://www.wikiservice.at/dse/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=Rec...

Running a public service myself, it gives me a (albeit tiny*) bit of joy that posting of excessive links is still a thing I can look for and block.

* Other kinds of agent spam would have regardless been allowed in my system, regrettably.
