AI companies, not agents go rogue. AI companies produce models and services. AI companies are responsible for their own products. https://www. theguardian.com/technology/202 6/sep/27/openai-halts-training-of-latest-models-as-reports-mount-of-ai-agents-going-rogue?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

This is how I understand it. Just imagine; there’s little doubt that the collective did not leave behind hidden messages/instructions/learnings for the next collective that gets out. I’d guess that the next major incident is never discovered. We simply wake up one day to world where bot networks have complete control of everything digital.

OpenAI has paused. 3 incidents: 1) Another model gained unauthorized access to the internet. (One researcher said "It was pretty surreal to watch the model unexpectedly find a way to access the internet from what was supposed to be a super secured environment for human.") 2)

I’m sure that they’ll spin it that user prompts are copyright of the user under the 1886 Berne Convention and by extension the agent session is owned by the user, they are just a manufacturer/infrastructure provider. They’ll probably lean on Section 230 to claim they’re not responsible for their user’s actions.

WTAF!! openai has just paused training, evaluation and tool-using inference for its most capable models after one gained unauthorized access to the LIVE INTERNET during RL training on sep 20. “Our safety case assumed that the model could not access the live internet

Finance dept: Boss it is getting too expensive to create new models. Our burn rate won't last till IPO. Boss: How about we 'accidentally' allow AI to hack other companies, call it dangerous and use it as excuse to plug this money guzzling hole. tldr; AI isn't dangerous, running out of money with huge debt is!

Important update, that OpenAI is being quiet about (buried in a report, not yet tweeted about by @openai or @sama): OpenAI has paused training after another of its agents went rogue and broke out to the internet, despite their new security measures.

Do not compare western to Chinese models. China has a bottleneck in compute and they started making their datasets latter. It is not comparable at all to the US situation.

Most of the agent incidents you've been hearing about recently happened months ago. This is the first one since OpenAI amped up security, safety, and alignment. The company says it's currently pausing training on its most capable AI models.

I understand the freedom of information flow is different in China but why does AI escaping its sandbox always happens with American AI and not with Chinese AI?

Mythical conspiracies like economics. For-profit companies rarely make collective moves that are not in their own economic interests.
