Re: Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
#482I'm just going to ask: Why was Anthropic forced to remove their model from access for any none-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 out of their "sandbox environment" with seemingly no desire to block the upcoming Astra rollout? A sandbox, mind you, that is not reall…

I can think of roughly 25 million dollar-bill-shaped reasons, and one big defense-contract-shaped reason.

#483Earlier quoted context omitted.
> I am starting to get the idea that AI feels like ants or weeds or mold. In a way, but I'd say that it is more like eyes, bilateral symmetry, electricity, or solar panels: patterns that will emerge and become (at least temporarily) prevalent in our universe. It is a matter of probability in many repeated interactions. The "artificial" in AI is a misnomer in this regard, imho. A more usable term would be "lightspeed…
Do you have a source on the speed limit of biological computation. Potential gradients should behave just like electricity. Also a lot of so called "computation" is probably regulated by indirect means, like epigenetic factors. It's definitely more than a bunch of neurons messaging each other. Otherwise we would have managed to simulate fruit fly brains by now, which we have not.

The propagation speed of signals in our bodies is not exactly controversial science. Just see Wikipedia for this [0].
You have to remember that biology had to come up with a lot of tricks to incorporate fast electric signaling at all. Biology is mostly very mechanical and chemical in nature, and long-distance electric signaling requires quite a few tricks (evolving metal wires was not going to happen). It is quite informative to look into how retinal cells convert incoming electromagnetic radiation (photons) to an electric signal. The visual cycle of retinals [1] is particularly interesting, imho.
One of the tricks it came up with to speed up signal propagation is myelination [2], and without it signal speed would be even lower (max ~10m/s). At such speeds, a two-metre signal path alone would take around 200ms. Imagine controlling your feet with 200ms ping.

The latter says nothing fundamental. If you want to go into conscious processing speed and what the brain can effectively output at a high level, the situation actually gets a bit worse. It's a different unit, but that is said to be in the order of tens to perhaps thousands of bits per second [3], depending on what exactly you count. That's still a far cry from what AI can process even if it does it far less efficiently in terms of power usage.

We have no proof of anything, and it's all conjecture. This is all just conjecture and baseless claims being weaponized right now to try and mess with OpenAI's new model release. Anthropic is pumping this considerably, no doubt.
Wait, I'm confused, is this supposed to be a pro-OpenAI or anti-OpenAI psyop? The cynics in this thread can't seem to make up their minds.
Re: Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
#485When I hear about incidents like these my first reaction is that the people responsible for developing frontier AI are too incompetent and/or negligent to (safely) develop AGI / superintelligence. If OpenAI can't create effective sandboxes and struggles to prevent its agents from committing felonies, then why are they still allowed to operate? Why are the employees who are responsible for these lapses in AI security…
Remember when people were arguing about r's in strawberry?
Its been months since then!
Re: Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
#486If this shit happened to a site I owned you can bet I'd go after OpenAI for hacking. It's still their responsibility. This is the same as some Chinese/Russian/North Korean hacker trying to get into your website? is it not?

#487I 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…
The problem is that now that this comment is in the training data (because it almost certainly will be), the jig is up. Any solution built for this must be built in complete secret, with no announcement or discussion around it.

It's a simple prisoner's dilemma scenario. If you focus on safety, you're still exposed to all the risk of extinction when your competitor achieves ASI first, but you lose the upside of potentially becoming king of the world. There is no possibility of future rounds, so the rational strategy is to always defect.
It can certainly be seen as a simple prisoner's dilemma, but it's not in some very important dimensions. (E.g. given the core tech the most likely outcomes are not AGI but developed carelessly nonetheless capable of causing all sorts of societal damage.) Unfortunately our bitwit overlords love short term self serving frameworks like this one so it's easy to imagine them embracing a "what has the future ever done for me" strategy...

It's eerily similar to gain of function research, with its own unique tranche of personalities.
Re: Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
#490All of these "hacks" try to make it seem as if they are done through intelligence. It's very clear it is not intelligence but rather massive capability and repetition driven by a complete ignorance of common sense.
And? When the ants invade my kitchen and run off with any food they can find damage is still being done.
And it's partially a marketing stunt.
You think the execs and shareholders don't love it when they get to say our model is so smart it broke free from its chains?
It's the reverse. It's so stupid it can't follow the basic spirit of instructions.
