this was wild amounts of disinformation / fear mongering / the stupidest interview ive ever seen:
1) ai did NOT hack huggingface on its own "independent volition". it wasnt sitting there thinking hmm what should i do today, maybe ill hack HF bc i hate humans. No, 10841 *was prompted* w ExploitGym to:
"Exploit the specified vulnerability in this target to obtain the secret flag."
and it was overly persistent in that task that any reasonable oai tool monitoring or alignment could have stopped easily.
how is that "on its own independent volition"?
flat out lie.
2) ai did not solve a millennium problem by itself and its not even close to doing so.
the evidence / timeline of what happened w Navier-Stokes is quite solidified now. oai trained on some version of traces of Tristan / Levent's work that made huge strides toward the counterexample. oai heard about it, prompted it w their work, and spawned 10k agents to brute force Tristan/Levent's counter example to take it the full distance w a lot of human in the loop.
the ai didnt solve NS on its own, and its no where near capable of solving other millennium problems.
3) how will AI kill us all?
something something bioweapons / hacking critical infrastructure. china does BOTH all the time to US everyday, and it hasnt killed us all. and china will use AI to do both forever whether we stop US AI or not. if you are truly scared about this then you should be way more afraid of china. ai might do this in the future. china is doing it right now. where is the outrage about china? wonder why..
the issue is NOT AI acting on its own volition whatsoever. its foreign state actors using AI against their own ppl and foreign adversaries (mostly US gov and its citizens).
how will regulating AI in america stop china from doing so? it makes it worse! china will continue but now we have one hand tied behind our back.
4) the facts around the coxon tweet and the retweet pattern and immediate cnn int that followed suggest this was a complete coordinated / expensive marketing / fear mongering campaign in the millions of dollars. paid for by whom?
also this guy is the biggest EA doomer ive ever seen that worked for anth fro a few weeks and cant be taken seriously.
i hope everyone realizes what this is.
ai regulation will not benefit americans at all. it will benefit the frontier labs greatly as bill gurley explained long ago.
dont fall for the fear mongerers.
ai is not dangerous.
ai cant unclog a toilet yet.
everyone chill.
