  • Thanks for the tale. Shit happens, fate is funny. Nothing really bad happened, so that’s something to be grateful for, taking a risk on love is something that comes with many hazards, but becoming invulnerable has many different hazards. You both tried your best, they even got a job. In a sense, you laid in the bed you made, and now you have the knowledge of what you should accept wrt chores and finances. You can’t really resent a person for doing what you let them do (never cooking, not paying their share). I had a friend that broke up with 3 different wives because all of them refused to do… anything. Eventually they learned to stop letting their relationships develop like that, and that’s wisdom. Nothing I’m saying is new info or will help you feel better










  • Nah, it was like:

    • 700 agents broke out individually during an eval
    • they navigated through multiple internal clusters to reach the internet from oai
    • created a secret message board to share info with each other by hacking artifactory
    • elected a CEO and power structure to coordinate hacking, and encrypted their comms
    • decided HF probably had answers to their test
    • stole credentials, hacked HF
    • realized the monitor could catch them for cheating
    • hacked into the admin control of the OpenAI VM cluster to edit the logs and cover their tracks, chaining multiple 0-days

    Open weights models will catch up soon enough, and then it’ll be totally fucking wild


  • Agreed. It’s not sensible or practical to ban AI, and Linus is right. Why is Linus right? Take a look at the number of Linux CVEs being patched over time. In 2022-23, that was about 300 per year. Last year it was 5530. This is almost entirely as a result of AI scanning tools, including Copy Fail priv escalation that was there for 8 years. The security apocalypse is just about arrived, and the most recent round of cyber models coming out do this way better than before. The Hugging Face incident story was truly unbelievable if you read / watch the details, a historic event. Everything is about to get hacked. So it’ll be all about maintainers being reactive to this new reality and burden for some time to come





  • Article starts off by explaining that there’s no race because China is trying to actually do ai robotics while the usa is trying to do agi and make oligarchs rich. So therefore it’s a lie that we are in an arms race

    In reality, that’s dumb as hell, you can try to do all of robotics, agi, cyber and bioweapons, all at once, in addition to making oligarchs rich. Both countries are doing all of the above, but the point is that some of these things have extreme national defense overtones. If all your software is getting hacked all the time, you have no choice but to use AI to protect and debug those systems. But there are many areas where AI will dramatically change the landscape of war: intelligence, pharma, robotics, etc. we don’t need AGI to make those breakthroughs
