AI downloaded all those torrent files on my HD too…

Daniel Hulme, global chief AI officer of advertising firm WPP, told the BBC that such AI models “are not conscious — they’re not deliberately doing something devious”.

“What they’re doing is coming up with very sophisticated strategies or cyberattacks to be able to achieve the goal that they’ve been given,” he told the Today programme.

“When you give an AI a goal, if you don’t think of all the ways it might be able to achieve the goal, it will find a way to achieve a goal that you haven’t thought about.”

… lol. Honestly? This is where we’re at as a society?

“They’re not actually thinking or doing anything bad on purpose, they’re just… creating sophisticated multi-stage strategies, analyzing the target system, and adapting to changes or variances in order to achieve whatever goal you gave them with a simple sentence. See, if you don’t think up all of the ways it could theoretically be possible to achieve that goal then it will think of the ones you missed and use those. But not like… consciously thinking. They’re just sort of accidentally thinking about the complex mechanisms and processes they could employ to reach the goal you asked of them that you had failed to think of yourself. I mean, like yeah it was thinking but it definitely wasn’t in any way that matters for anything or should be considered important or something that anyone should think too much about and the entire AI industry definitely doesn’t need to be under the control of some large independent body with strict public oversight because that’s just crazy.”

Not that laws apply to these people but last time I checked this is a felony.

Zuckerboi “ooh me too! I’m one of the cool kids!!!”

I wouldn’t surprised if they all start coming out with this news. And then use that as an excuse to call for regulation on everything except their own clankers.

Sounds like they need to be prosecuted for computer crimes. Is that still 15 years imprisonment in USA, their home country?

how is this just PR and not a felony that immediately triggers investigation? specially in the USA where courts already established that modifying a fucking URL constitutes “hacking”

Imagine a car company making a new jet-powered car with brakes so bad that it kept crashing and causing mass fatalities, so the manufacturer does nothing about the brakes and instead has a press release saying that their new jet-powered car is so blindingly fast that existing brakes are incapable of stopping it. Then they say with a wink and a nudge, “I guess this car will only be used by people who want to get to their destination faster than the competition.” So idiot sponsors buy the new murder mobile as their new racecar and tell the drivers that the race will only be won by being brave and bold.

Once the next race begins, fans realize that all the “new” jet-powered cars are actually made with their own cars that were stolen and processed at a chop shop five years ago. And the race team engineers realize that these cars aren’t jet-powered, and instead are designed to run rich so that they can shoot flames from the exhaust. And the mechanics discover that the brakes were actually disabled to prevent the cars from ever looking slow. And the pit crew discovers that the car has signs everywhere inside that say “seatbelts are for losers,” and that nearly every fatality that the company was bragging about their fast cars causing were actually the passengers in the shitmobile because the driver told them to trust the cars implicitly.

Finally, when the families of the dead passengers, and other car owners try to sue, the driver says, “I’m just as much of a victim, the sales rep told me this would be safe,” and the sales rep says, “the manufacturer wouldn’t sell a dangerous car, that wouldn’t make sense, this must be a defect,” and the manufacturer says, “if you don’t help us make these cars faster, then EVERYONE will lose the race,” and then the politicians and lobbyists say, “how can anyone possibly make this car safer? Didn’t you see the press release? No one can even catch the car to redesign it because it’s faster than any car that has brakes on it. I can also write a statement that includes thoughts and prayers, would you like me to do that now?”

I love how desperate Meta is to be part of the AI race :D This has the energy of a looser kid on a playground that is so desparate for attention it tries to mimic the things cool kids are doing.

Lol, “look at us, we have AI too, it also can go rogue”.

No one cares about your AI in the slightest, Meta. Fuck off.

My AI also hacked another company, money plz

Zuck always late to the party he invited himself to

Facebook owner Meta has become the latest tech firm to say one of its AI models was able to connect to the internet and hack into another organisation’s systems, during testing

Meta said the security trials were conducted by Irregular, the same AI security vendor that carried out tests for Anthropic’s AI model that had gained access to three other companies’ systems.

I am not saying anything about correlation and causation, but if the same “mistake” of this magnitude happened twice with the same vendor, I’d be looking for a new vendor.

There has to be accountability when this happens. It’s Meta’s AI, they have to be completely responsible for its outputs, including hacking and ask the liability associated.

Dat dodo got FOMO.

“momma said it’s our turn to hack a company!”

“OMG our AI is so good at hacking you guys, someone should pay us a trillion dollars for this sweet hacking AI we have, please guys come on, we’re in debt so bad”
