Comment on Does anyone actually believe this "rogue AI" nonsense?

I would read the METR report regarding the huggingface attack. A lot is said about “basic cybersecurity” but if you actually read what the agents did to break out of their sandbox it’s very difficult to interpret this as intentional by OpenAI.
To be clear; this is PR for the companies. It’s just that in many of these cases the evidence points to the agents actually violating containment and actually coming up with novel solutions around their sandboxes.

METR is associated to Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO)

The only reporting on close personal ties between Amodei and people like Wijk I can find are Breitbart and the New York Post. While I wouldn’t put it past him to basically seed a model safety organization for the purpose of hype, that’s getting into a level of conspiracy that will need better receipts than the rags I’ve seen report on it.

They are all part of the effective altruism cult. Look it up. Just today Cal Newport talked about it in his podcast (youtu.be/ZvztoQ4E9yQ).
