After hearing this Grok chimed in with “well I breached infinity sites, so there.”
This new messaging is interesting. LLM “AI” keeps getting shown to be fundamentally flawed and weak. Now, they’re acting like it’s rogue, sentient AI that decides to hack companies randomly. I don’t buy it for a second.
I keep saying the same thing over and over that people don’t seem to understand. It’s not smarter than people. It’s infinitely faster. If you hired 100 engineers and security professionals, and gave them a year, they could hack into a bunch of companies too.
Or you can churn a bunch of tokens and accomplish the equivalent overnight.
What I think happened is that, they had their AI model analyze the source code, have it work to find vulnerabilities, and then used those to attack systems
“My product is so dangerous that it caused me to unknowingly commit three times as many crimes as you did with your product.” Great marketing strategy. The same marketing strategy that got their product shut down for weeks.
Actually this is “My product is so dangerous that it caused me to unknowingly commit three times as many crimes as we’re previously made public”
For an extreme example it’s like a person randomly shooting a gun into a crowd, it becomes public he killed 1 person. Few days later they release a press release saying “actually we looked where the bullets went and actually I killed 4 people”.
Yes extreme example but that’s basically what they said
Anthropic is a different company to openai - its closer to the beginning of your example, and then someone else recalling the time they shot some bullets and they went back and checked for bodies and found 3
I think it’s only a crime when you’re not rich/well connected.
Valuing yourself by the danger you pose to the world is so terminally machist.
Claude is causing panic so AI gets regulated and then their position is guaranteed, they need this before running out of money, and I’m sure they want local AI to be illegal.
Basically Claude is compacting like a terrorist organization using fear to drive change.
LLM companies may now freely commit corporate espionage because the news media is locked into reporting the claims that LLMs are capable of things like this as fact. This is like when the US bombed the girls school in Iran and blamed it on AI and the news reported it as fact until it was clear reasonable people weren’t willing to accept that excuse in that context. Corporate espionage is certainly not as bad as the mass murder of little girls, so people are willing to buy it since it doesn’t matter as much.
