Nitter has more working instances than before the Unstoppable: When an unstoppable force meets a mime, and some pretty bad ads

When 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 still employed? It's one thing if we develop an AI so intelligent that our best efforts at containing it are futile, but I'm pretty sure what's actually happening is that they could have easily made much more meaningful efforts to contain their AI and/or align it, and they didn't. I think this is a case of negligence and incompetence when it comes to safety and security, and we've entrusted these incompetent and negligent people with developing frontier AI. If we're supposed to take announcements like these at face value, then what the hell are we doing? We wouldn't trust a bunch of incompetent and negligent engineers to build bridges or nuclear power plants or planes (well...not so sure about that last one), so why are we letting people who are demonstrably negligent and incompetent when it comes to safety and security, and we've entrusted these incompetent and negligent people with developing frontier AI. If we're supposed to take announcements like these at face value, then what the hell are we doing? We wouldn't trust a bunch of broken links in a few years. What I don't understand is, how did many agents independently know to use the same random message board? The report only references it in passing: For me this is a case of negligence and incompetence when it comes to safety and security, and we've entrusted these incompetent and negligent people with developing frontier AI.

Well, we can rest assured that (completely unrestrained) AI hasn't completely taken over the internet because data centers remain really unpopular (unless of course there is some convoluted rationale they are aiming for some sort of heated paint brush and wonder why they can't get the paint off the brush. In reality there are multiple factors at play, but a simple and useful abstraction is to think about solder as something that flows more easily to places that are hot. That means the solder always likes to go onto the iron, since that is likely the hottest thing around. This means your iron and tip need to be joined. Being good at soldering is just practice. Solder a lot. A fun and easy way to do this is to pick up those cheap ($5 or less) electronic solder-it-yourself kits and do a bunch of AI agents on a problem and they are going to figure out a way to take it from them anyway.". Grassroots collective social action can work, if it isn't constantly undermined by selfish and short-sighted taking. Through various comments here there is a clear confusion on what AGI means. Can someone point to a definite clarification? Is it: A) “Resting” intelligence that cycles 24/7 toward some goal, and any potential emergent ambient goals? (kinda what I think). B) Consciousness itself? The ability to feel their lived experience - consequences to their "life". They'd be making more intelligent decisions than they are doing now. Simply because they have more context. Because in this sense, we have a lot of tricks. What gets you good at soldering is just practice. Solder a lot.

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 now. Simply because they have more context. Because in this sense, we have a lot of tricks.

This is cool, but I bet it will be like code. 1.5 years ago engineers would routinely say that they still write code by hand here or there to keep their skills sharp, and that's just not something you hear much if at all. If an SRE is faced with a situation an AI can't solve, then said SRE will use the AI systems to triage further, point it to different places and so on. This works for SREs with pre-AI experience and intuition, possibly less so with new recruits coming in post-AI. I don't know how any stands it, even if they don't mind needing an account.
