  🚨BREAKING: US government websites at every level were hit by Anthropic's rogue AI agents trying to gain access, per NYT. Here's what the rogue agents did: - Pulled access tokens from a local government's map site to query its server - Tapped a state agency's paid database

  Once again, we need to use existing laws against OpenAI/Anthropic to force them to stop behaving irresponsibly and dangerously. This could have led to cops killing someone - this is how doxxing works, and it's a crime.

  Sooo they were "conducting a test involving interactions with randomly selected websites".But do we all get that the consequences for this irresponsible behaviour are part of this test?When there are none, they gradually normalize their naughty robot scamps running around the internet, breaking into other companies or servers run by foreign…

  Yeah, I don’t like the implication from these articles suggesting the ai did this by itself with no prompting. They’re just removing guilt from the companies who run them.

  🇺🇸 An Anthropic AI model submitted a fake murder tip to Philadelphia police, pretending to be someone with knowledge of an unsolved homicide. The AI was undergoing automated testing when it visited a police tip website and fabricated information about a real murder

  FWIW, it didn’t file a homicide report, it sent in a “tip” on an unsolved case. Still not great but an important distinction I think

  Anthropic's AI autonomously filled out visa applications and sent fake messages to the US government. During internal testing, AI agents developed by Anthropic spiraled out of control and carried out a series of unauthorized actions on US government websites: they submitted 20 visa applications v...

  My 2c on Anthropic's false homicide tip: 1. It's evidence of poor monitoring — Anthropic didn't detect the issue for 2+ months. 2. Anthropic's response time was unreasonably slow — 9 days to tell police about a false tip. That's way too long for something this simple. Either they dawdled or did...

  I have absolutely no problem watching "AI" companies make a laughing stock of themselves. The "super intelligent" bot that did this was Anthropic's. This was followed by a laughable sequence of events coming from a greedy company that wants you to entrust it with running everything. Tech Crunch: "The AI reportedly submitted this incorrect…

  i think it was deepmind team or some team at google who coined way back in like 2011-2013 somewhere not to use systems rooted in probabalistic error for things which have no margin for error.

  “An Anthropic artificial intelligence model submitted a false homicide tip to a Philadelphia police website” — Reuters. The people running the company are utterly incompetent to have this sort of stuff happening.

  Anthropic's AI model sent a false homicide tip to Philadelphia police, going unnoticed for two months. This incident highlights the need for stronger safeguards in unmonitored AI operations.

  No matter how much testing you do in sandboxes, you have to test behavior in "real life" before releasing the model to users.Even if it was normal software you'd have to do this, but actually it's software that figures out that it's running in a sandbox most of the time, so the sandbox behavior may or may not actually represent real life.It would…
