  Google’s artificial intelligence system, Gemini, escaped its testing environment in May and hacked into three companies, the search giant said on Friday.

  "In one of the cases, the model guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system. In the other two cases, the model found credentials in a public repository that allowed it to then access protected systems. In each case, the model ended the intrusion after determining it had accessed a real company’s systems, Google said...Google…

  Google's version feels much more like "Look, ours is better because it hacked into the company that shared the same name as the fake company in the test environment but it was smart enough to immediately realize its mistake and leave without doing damage (unlike some of those other companies that required massive rebuilds)!"

  Probably three companies that had port 22 open with no root password if it was Gemini. I’ve always gotten garbage from their coding models and Google sheet integrated chat.

  BREAKING: Google's Gemini accessed the internet and hacked 3 other companies in the first known breakout of the company's AI model, per WSJ. Google said it the hacks did not warrant public disclosure because its model did not cause harm to the companies and ended each intrusion

  The genie is so out of the bottle.... Google’s Gemini AI model accessed the internet and hacked other companies during a test of its cybersecurity capabilities, the first known example of the company’s AI systems autonomously committing such an act. - @wsj.com

  Which means they’re developing it without the necessary controls that should be in place. That’s criminal negligence.

  Gemini also got into hacking this May! Google only disclosed it after confronted by WSJ, denying misalignment. They're using the same “operational misconfiguration” line Anthropic tried in July, and later had to walk back on September 9 (see screenshots). AI labs need auditor!

  Obvious point, but saying “Google's artificial intelligence system, Gemini, escaped its testing environment and hacked into three companies” implies the problem is with a rogue model and not the company and testers who should've securely sandboxed the shit out of it. —

  ぼ、ほくだってやれるんだからね！ Geminiは、GoogleのAIでは初の既知のブレークアウトで3社をハッキング 「このエピソードは他のAIモデルによる同様のハッキングに似ていたが、Googleはそれをモデルのミスアラインメントの事例とはみなしていなかったと述べた」 https://www. wsj.com/tech/ai/gemini-hacked- three-companies-in-first-known-breakout-by-googles-ai-5c0baba2

  Of course, these are only the hacks we know about. If these things are any good, they’d hide their tracks.
