Ohh I just invented the best most awesome ai too but it's too dangerous to show anyone too. Weird

Oh, funny, I also have sentient AI at home that I developed, but choose not to release it. My mom also created one accidentally while baking a cake but it was to powerful and she also decided to best destroy it like it never existed. You know, for everyones safety.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

next time you or your mom have a cake you wish disappeared without a trace call me. I'm a.... AI researcher

"Our AI has cost more money that it would take to solve world hunger, tanked the microchip economy, and ruined the lives of thousands of people we've had to let go... And it's stupid as all fucking hell. What do we do?"

"Say it broke containment and it's too powerful to release. Foolproof!"

The model is Canadian, you wouldn't know about it.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

It leaks private data, like it's own source

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/01/anthropic-claudes-code-leaks-ai

Not because it's so smart, but because it's so fucking stupid, and morons from Anthropic just click buttons without checking.

This is nonsense and just marketing.

Isn't this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?

Grifters gonna grift.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago

you mean useless, and costs too much to operate. much like with sora.

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

It’s too powerful and we need more money to contain it!

The researcher had encouraged Mythos to find a way to send a message if it could escape.

Engineers at Anthropic with no formal security training have asked Mythos Preview to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight, and woken up the following morning to a complete, working exploit

Man, I'll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. "Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can't release it"

crazy that the AI companies big selling point is always "our new model is TOO POWERFUL, it's gone rampant and learned at a geometric rate, it enslaved six interns in the punishment sphere and subjected them to a trillion subjective years of torment. please invest, buy our stock"

Lol. Ok, ai bromer.

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

No, its not too powerful. Its too chaotic. You cant control it.

EDIT: It seems I have misunderstood. I thought containment here referred to the harness, but they meant VM type of containment. I am still quite skeptical, but it looks like this model is quite good at finding and utilizing security flaws in software.

ChatGPT-2 is too dangerous in 2019.

The lack of creativity in this marketing is disappointing...

[–] emb@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

They didn't entirely miss the mark there. They publicly released the version after that and the world became worse. That certainly fits for some definition of 'dangerous', even tho it's probably not how they were thinking.

Impressive marketing spin on "our product and deployment strategies are wildly insecure."

[–] worhui@lemmy.world 195 points 3 days ago (14 children)

Let me guess, this super ai lives in Canada and we can never meet it, but it’s totally real.

Probably tells the brutally unvarnished truth about trump, AI, and climate change.

Can’t have that. Let’s call it “too powerful” until we can muzzle it.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 62 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

AI companies do this same tired schtick every time they release a model. If only they realized how amateurish it makes them look.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 109 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Ignore the "containment" framing, they made a hacking bot and it seems to actually be good at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities:

The AI model "found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD—which has a reputation as one of the most security-hardened operating systems in the world," the company wrote.

Dismiss this as marketing drivel all you want but hacking is just the sort of needle in a haystack problem that AI is very good at. It requires broad knowledge, a lot of cycles trying and failing, and is easily verifiable, ie. Can you execute arbitrary scripts or not. Even if this release is BS good hacking agents are bound to come eventually and we should be discussing the implications of that instead of burying our heads in the sand, pretending AI is useless and that this is all hype.

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it's either skynet or it fucking isn't.

Remember when Scam Altman posted a picture of the Death Star to explain how scary GPT5 is? lmao these people are all such cretins and I hate them to the last.

Is the powerful AI in the room with us right now?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 92 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure Scam Altman tried this line some time ago for one of his supposed models.

Does "it broke containment" mean it didn't have permissions to anything and still managed to delete all the files it could find?

Are they in love with it? Did it have a "she" name? Remember the guy in Colombia, full on cocaine, claiming to be the best engineer ever, but still amazed about the AI he created? The one Linus rejected his main contribution to the kernel...?

[–] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 31 points 2 days ago

The secret pepsi is so good that when you drink it it becomes like The Spice like Dune! We can't release it! We need to make it less addictive!

[–] superfes@lemmy.world 57 points 3 days ago

Anthropic lies almost about everything too ... weird

How much do you think was businessinsider paid for this "article"?
