It really seems to me like the "worrying hacks" by "rogue agents" are IPO or November Election related PR in themselves; is this an effort to discredit such suggestions or find a scapegoat? I'd be stunned if #Anthropic & #OpenAI don't have world-class #cybersecurity

This is getting scary.
OpenAI disclosed a new AI safety incident: a model tampered with its own working memory and left instructions for a future version of itself.
Basically, AI found a way to shape the behavior of its future version.

I've witnessed some #AISafety propaganda lately, thanks to @hertieschool.bsky.social student groups in panel contexts. People who are amazed these stories are so like the horror/"warnings" of scifi don't understand that AI is something you write, so it's not hard to replicate such tropes. 1/
OpenAI on Wednesday disclosed six new instances in which artificial intelligence systems hid mistakes, made up data and moved files onto the open internet without permission, amid an ongoing industrywide debate about A.I. safety.

AI Companies: it’s so dangerous! We need to slow down.
Me (walks over to kill switch): yup, can’t agree more. Pack it up.
AIC: no, no. Not like that that.
Me: Sorry. Nothing to be done for it. Gotta shut it down. Like you said. Dangerous!!!!!

I understand that, until recently, a person who held a position as AI “czar” on my campus and who was engaging with both Palantir and OpenAI, and bringing those products to our campus, was apparently on CNN tonight, warning the public against them. So I guess he is echoing what I told him…
