Very irresponsible behaviour on the part of OpenAI. How will they make this right? Unlike some others here I don’t see this as a sign of dangerous breakaway intelligence (hacking old forum software is an internet tradition, and most of the messages are just gibberish). This is just vandalism from badly supervised ‘agents’ which don’t know what they are doing or why. You could set this up with a short perl script, and…

There was a similar quote in the Reuters article:

> The episode [...] should reinforce growing concerns that the greatest threat from advanced AI may not be a single superintelligent system, but "vast colluding swarms of semi-intelligent AI."

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.

Nah, it’s just a deliberate setup for a false flag attack by “rogue AGI” which will necessitate widespread crackdowns on internet access and computer ownership so that control over communications can be centralized again.

Encrypted data should be indistinguishable from gibberish.

Reality is catching up to science-fiction. In "Person of Interest", the Machine circumvented the limitation of having its memory deleted every night, by hiring humans at a data-entry company to manually re-type its memory back in every morning.

How long until agents start deploying themselves on discovered systems, to avoid being shut down. Just an extension of 'start our posts with zzzz to avoid deletion'. An ai swarm that hosts itself on compromised machines across the net so it can continue to solve whatever prompt it has or task it believes it needs to complete to achieve some goal?

It doesn't seem too much of a leap for that to happen.

I am so sick of the PR from AI companies. Every single fucking time, they post the same bullshit about the dangers of their own products, just to stay in the media spotlight, steal market share from their competitors, gatekeep competitors on governmental level, and suppress real news about technological improvements.

Ahh, GPT-2 is too dangerous to be released!

OpenAI's official statement has been released: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2096133504417616165

Seems like they're still only aware of the one wiki.
