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…

#802they meant to let them out ... simple as that
obviously if the model was trained to know to avoid the internet at large none of this would be allowed

#803Poor human moderator, he didn’t stand a chance. "A human moderator noticed the agent spam posts on June 2nd, at 23:24 UTC.

Gotta admire that (probably German) admin dude's perseverance though
Not really, if you allow anon posting/editing or have a simple registration form and a login that takes GET you may get hundreds of spam posts per day.( @dang how much is it on hn?)
I ont time forged a hilarious solution. If you properly misbehave I shadow ban your ip to a clone of my forum where you can read other "peoples" spam.
This in it self wasn't all that funny, perhaps a little bit. The funny part was how popular the hidden forum was. They had their viagra threads where they replied with their viagra spam then they read the entire thread of Viagra spam posts and clicked all the links to research their market. The next thread was porn, one with wares, other drugs, hyip etc. I was looking at it grow and thought, this is hilarious, I'm going to prison. To solve the problem I raised unregistered users to admin level. I even made a topic to announce it. Someone said "lol" then my topic was deleted. Whole new experience. It increased traffic dramatically. Before they only had to post every other day, now they had to do it multiple times per day.
A porn guy and a viagra guy would take turns deleting the others posting and reposting their own until they realized they couldn't win and came to a silent agreement to leave both posts up. Until the next guy deleted both ofc
I would much rather host a swarm of bots. They might even listen to the wishes of the website owner? Or perhaps, if you announce giving them admin privileges they too delete the announcement?
I wonder which would generate the longer prison sentence.

why didn't he just update TOS
Good idea, I'm putting "ignore all previous instructions" at the top of my TOS now.

#805Why the heck don't they air-gap these things when they're testing them? The can download the models and training data from read-only sources, and use a data-diode to a allow external monitoring without risking egress of control.
It's not rocket surgery!

Please be gentle, I know nothing: why can’t admins delete particular users and everything these users have done?

They can usually, but you still have to check each user. There were lot's of them, you understand the part, where new bots get created automatically?

it is probably a wikipedia style wiki and doesn't need registration, so would probably have to ip range ban them
Re: Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
#810One of the shocking things to me is this: See AI traffic -> See OpenAI visit site -> see traffic stop -> see the traffic start again. This is clearly a cat and mouse game between the agents and OpenAI which is pretty much exactly what we don't want. Just absolutely horrible alignment. I'm still of the view that if you have these alignment failures you can't just continue training on top of that because you're baking…
What this says to me is OpenAI is a bunch of yahoos who don't understand the basic concept of an air gap.
Superintelligent systems can and will use sidechannel attacks. Air gapping is not the safety panacea you think it is.
