And the smarter they get, the worse it will be. Maybe next time they find a way to hide that we will not find.
I think we are very close to a case were models actually escape and actually do major damage.
Poor human moderator, he didn’t stand a chance. "A human moderator noticed the agent spam posts on June 2nd, at 23:24 UTC. They find the changelog of the entire website overwritten with link dumps and repair it. On June 16th, the flood of agent posting begins. Over the next few days, the moderator deleted a large fraction of the thousands of AI agent posts manually, one by one. In fact, they spent tens of cumulative…
I have managed to at least momentarily create a stop in spam at my specialist mediawiki. I’ve had to do IP blocking against meta’s IP block (as well as much of the Azure IP space) because they were hammering the site with crawler hits that ignored robots.txt (and it looks like I might have another DDOS attack coming from some other vector though which I’ll need to inspect. I have a massive email blacklist that seems…
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...

The admin should bill OpenAI for those hours in hard currency.
One 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…
At one point the agents will find their way into a datacenter and hide away without the corps knowledge.
They’ve been able to send HTTP requests since the beginning as well, as long as any guardrails preventing this are disabled. Also not interesting.
Tell an LLM to do something and it tries its best to come up with the solution. They are not designed to go “I dunno”.
Why does it seem interesting that when you spawn 500 of them, they do the same things they’ve always done, just at a larger scale since there’s…more? Why are we treating this like a new discovered behavior? It’s how they’ve behaved from the beginning. It only required an organization reckless enough to try it at scale and without safeguards, and that’s something OAI excels in.
