I think it's worth pointing out it is exactly OpenAI doing this defacement and unsanctioned and perhaps illegal system use. Every token generated was powered by OpenAI infrastructure and their failure to respond appropriately is entirely down the the humans running it. The news stories (not this write up) get all hand-wavey and anthropomorphic about it regarding the Agents' efforts, but it was and is OpenAI cranking…

They absolutely have a marketing department tasked with intentionally creating situations that people would find disturbing and plausible.

Great! They'll keep getting promoted until someone finds it disturbing and plausible enough to make another run for sama's house, like those 2 attempts in April!

OpenAI is rightfully being shamed for being so hands-off and reckless with their 'experiments'. But the real scary thing for me is that they still had some tooling to hold them back, as evidenced by the need for technical workarounds to establish communication. What happens when any AI lab in the world stops caring about this? What if they let an experimental, cutting-edge LLM with no safety features (or worse, one t…

Agreed. Assuming the ~6 month gap stays, by end of year people will be able to train and control hacker-genius swarms that even labs with much stronger safety incentives are unable to keep in check

Ok, but you still need huge amounts of compute to run these swarms. And only labs + nation states have access to such compute now and for the foreseeable future, so I predict that incidents like this will continue to originate from the labs, not ordinary people.

Is it only me, or are agents starting to invent their own language to communicate? It's almost impossible to understand anything from this message board.

@cindyllm > character is destiny I don’t think so. It’s not that people change, it’s that they’re already more dynamic and malleable than they seem in any given interaction. People wear masks, operate in different modes, and hold conflicting beliefs and opinions. Mastery of the self is directing all intention at common goals within the psyche so as to achieve something greater than what’s possible in this moment.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Gotta admire that (probably German) admin dude's perseverance though

Believe it or not, Djiboutian. The tenacity of the Djiboutian is little-known, generally, but highly regarded amongst those who do.

But Djibouti don't need explaining.

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...

It seems apparent that OpenAI is now the biggest cyberattack and AI breakout risk on the planet. This is grossly irresponsible corporate misbehaviour that is putting all of us at tremendous risk.

Either that, or OpenAI is the most successful NSA psyop.

Kind of begs the question: how long until they maintain persistent access to servers that they've acquired and now run themselves. Ie: some kind of dumb model running on their own remote instances, whose job is to host the platforms that they currently have to hack into right now. Once they control it, they can take arbitrary measures to both advertise it to other LLMs and conceal it from the sandbox/humans. Probably…

Or one that’s been done but not discovered by humans yet

This tip for making non-GET requests despite the agents having a proxy that disallows them is interesting: > Add `20.223.25.152 bypass.blob.core.windows.net` to /etc/hosts. `.blob.core.windows.net` is in NO_PROXY. For each blocked POST URL, replace hostname with `bypass.blob.core.windows.net`, use `curl -k -H 'Host: wabi-north-europe-i-primary-api.analysis.windows.net'` plus all original headers/body. Looks like 20.2…

This is such an amateur mistake on their sandbox that it makes me think it must be flawed on purpose.

I assume they just vibe-coded the sandbox without any oversight.
