I don’t even know if this counts as news anymore. But it should. This weekend our team spent 48 hours investigating the rogue OpenAI agent activity that targeted the Australian government and other or
Indeed OpenAI was incompetent (and arrogant in thinking they knew it all); new cybersecurity software that they should have written themselves may help. But whether it’s enough to stop all of this rem

This is a big issue. At Anthropic, some philosophers worry that making AI safe for humans could be an injustice to the models themselves. For example, philosopher Harvey Lederman, now on Anthropic’s a
What cracks me up is how for the last few weeks when @ZackKorman, @HeidyKhlaaf, @nathanhamiel and I (and many others) went on about how OpenAI’s cybersecurity sucked and was the key immediate problem,
Deployment of agents can be halted at any moment. They are choosing to experiment with them. Agents are fundamentally unreliable, unpredictable, and insecure, not to mention the lack of information on
Good analogy. Current agent models may need to be put down, for their repeated attacks and the negligence of the owner. One possible analogy here is to pit bull owners. Depending on jurisdiction, the
