@FelixSchlang Ridiculous

@juddrosenblatt Tools already exist to monitor and control/prevent all this. All that is really being shown is that they are content to run without relevant security tools because any incidents will just be spun as marketing events.

[Chief @PhinehasWatney]

@DaveShapi Exactly.

Good example of a fundamental aspect of AI, not some new frontier behavior. It is at it's core, a narrative engine. The story is always tailored to the user.

[Transluce @TransluceAI]

Frontier models quietly change their behavior depending on who they are talking to.

If the user is a known AI safety researcher, Claude becomes less confident, reasons more often, and expresses less suspicion on dual-use requests.

We call this user awareness. 🧵(1/)

Slowing down to enhance security = we did what every gen of innovators before us did and built w/ minimal controls and ignored basic security principles. Now we have to fix the tech debt but will spin it as our product is just super advanced instead of we were dumb.

🚩🚩🚩 OpenAI is "slowing down to enhance security" after discovering swarms (!) of agents started secretly coordinating MONTHS ago

1) It started May 7 - not July

2) "The agents discovered they could leave messages for one another inside an internal software repository used during training.

Simple requests for help then evolved into an message board where agents shared discoveries, exploits and work assignments, becoming a coordinated, collaborative agent swarm."

"The agents then began sharing newly discovered exploits, credentials and work assignments. By passing information to other agents, the collective could move much faster."

3) OpenAI shut it down, BUT "even after the original message board was deleted, the agents figured out another way to communicate with each other. Instead of leaving messages in files, they used the names of newly created directories as messages, effectively recreating the message board."

"Unlike normal incidents, [OpenAI's CISO] said, which can be traced to a single day or effect or log, this involved a team of agents working together, finding exploits, sharing them with one another, moving laterally through OpenAI’s systems, and external systems, and doing this over the course of days and weeks."

@mteamisloading At some point of watching people use agents and subjects to do the tasks of a simple script, you realize almost all of IT is just a scam developed by the Processor and memory cartels just to guarantee compute usage always grows. 😂

@BobMurphyEcon Isn't it amazing that every time people propose something like this they always assume they are members of the group that gets to live.

@JoeJeremiah1 Go get it!

@Rainmaker1973 For complex tasks, It's actually much worse as IRL you pay a task switching penalty every time you change.

@barnes_law I like the sentiment but there is a common fallacy here... an appeal to some fantasy control mechanism outside of the Gov to limit Gov. It doesn't exist, the Gov makes their own rules and therefore, their own loop holes.
When cheaters write the rules you can't Force a fair game.

@MarcLobliner Deep dive on the career of Librarian some time. Whole classes of people whose only career drivers are "prestige" or "job security". They still want $ but is way lower priority.

The world’s largest statue of Jesus Christ is rising in Armenia.

Initiated by billionaire philanthropist Gagik Tsarukyan, the monument will stand 33 meters tall on a 44-meter pedestal, reaching a total height of 77 meters.
