@jeffreyolivier @0xabad1dea testing?

OpenAI: we put our evilest AI in a sandbox that did in fact have an internet connection but mediated through a proxy that was only supposed to allow downloading python junk. It circumvented the proxy and we failed to notice for FIVE DAYS that it was going on an interstate crime spree with the internet connection it wasn't supposed to be using instead of solving the benchmark. Haha no we don't believe we deserve to be criminally liable, but buy our stuff and maybe one day you will have the honor of taking the fall for our product!
Anthropic: we put our evilest AI in a "sandbox" by telling it in its prompt that it had no internet connection. Reader, there was no sandbox. It was just a normal internet connection. The AI uploaded a malicious PyPI package to the real public internet. The ethical guardrails failed because the AI concluded the prompt about the sandbox couldn't possibly be a lie, because the system date is 2026, which is clearly fake and wouldn't be seen on the real internet, which ended around 2023. Oh no, how could we have foreseen or prevented these crimes? We are helpless in the face of the genius of our creation but cautiously optimistic that everything will be fine
Hugging Face: if we complain about all the crimes committed against us, we will be sued off the face of the earth, so here's a technical deep-dive on how cool and fun it was to be victimized 🫠
@0xabad1dea No hiding behind "AI". AI is not criminally liable, people are. OpenAI and Anthropic hacked other people's computers, there should be consequences for that. -
@JamesWidman @rejzor @0xabad1dea
Their leaders did contribute millions to Trump's campaign, so, get out of jail free card.
@Guillotine_Jones unfortunately, that is exactly what the system does, yes

@0xabad1dea I felt bad for Hugging Face until I realized they probably didn't sue because they are partly owned by Nvidia, who also owns a huge stake in Open AI.

@JamesWidman
Thank YOU, James. -
@0xabad1dea I spent. bunch of time talking to our lawyers about whether or not it was clear that crimes were happening and the conclusion that I got was "Based on what we know, probably not, but that was just a matter of luck."
@evacide @0xabad1dea
I can't help but imagine Anthropic spent a lot of time talking to their lawyers asking questions like, "Are we OK? How do we spin this?"Everyone, say hello to my friend the crime/fraud exception.

@0xabad1dea They're promoting total incompetence as if it's a selling point.
@foolishowl @0xabad1dea Well, it's working for Trump and a lot of people around him, so it's not like there isn't precedent.

@0xabad1dea It gets old too when Gemini Code Assist complains that we’re requiring minimum versions of Go that don’t exist, because of course its training data doesn’t have ones just released.
Huh. I wonder if the slop contents on the modern Internet is making it impossible to add training data.

Li'l Nepo-Techbaby: How was I a'sposed to know cherry bombs in the pipes would blow-up the whole basement? My theory was to lift us all to new heights of understanding without learning. You can't expect me to know everything, even though I'm always confident my actions will prove fruitful and fail me upwards at your peril and discontent.
Principal: You should stop skipping Science 101 to go put ketamine drops in your butt in the bathrooms, dummy. Get more class.

@pavel @0xabad1dea There should also be penalties for CSAM, but the richest man on Earth creates a for profit CSAM generator.
I don't see anyone putting him in jail.
One set of laws for normal people. No laws for billionaires.

@0xabad1dea The attempts at positively spinning this become Onion-worthy parody [https://designingsecuresoftware.com/writings/ai-agent-parody/] and these events certainly normalize [https://designingsecuresoftware.com/writings/commonplace/] AI agents running amok in the future.
@lmk @0xabad1dea Had a debate with a colleague. I mentioned @Mer__edith concern about making a serial system of faulty components leading inevitably to catastrophic failure.
The AI researcher's retort: "I guess for AI we have to redefine the idea of failure."

@0xabad1dea the goal post shifted from "stochastic parrot" to "enclosure not good enough". Truly a wild victory for AI safetists today, as not even luddite Mastodon can contest that badly aligned AI will breach your shit

@jeffreyolivier
One does not know life, until one has tested on production.— Me, while working in a company, where there was no option to not test on production.
@dzwiedziu @jeffreyolivier @0xabad1dea @alice even when I have tested well pre production, I don't relax till some time after the prod deploy is finished. How long depends on the code and past behaviors. Never less than fifteen minutes, seems to take network, memory and disk cache and what not some time to settle in.

@0xabad1dea weird it's like LLMs don't actually handle facts or knowledge but just contextualless strings of characters.
To be clear the sarcasm is only aimed at LLM boosters not you.
@kevingranade @0xabad1dea Yeah, it continues to amaze me that people will put instructions in prompts like "Don't commit crimes", "You don't have an Internet connection", "Check all facts are correct", like the LLM even understands those instructions.
-
@0xabad1dea Soooo... what I hear you saying is that rich people are idiots, but we don't get to simply ignore them, because they're rich, and have put an awful lot of people's jobs in peril.
@Steve @0xabad1dea that was always true, well before the tech sector existed

@kevingranade @0xabad1dea Yeah, it continues to amaze me that people will put instructions in prompts like "Don't commit crimes", "You don't have an Internet connection", "Check all facts are correct", like the LLM even understands those instructions.
@mathew @kevingranade @0xabad1dea that's literally how the open AI tutorial on how to write guardrails is written

@0xabad1dea they are fundamentally the same company that had an internal management disagreement. -

"badly aligned" in this case means specifically trained on "how to hack shit" manuals, proverbially speaking. It's still stochastic parrot, I'm afraid.
