@gleick Color me unimpressed. The OpenAI developers coded a program to attack HuggingFace, and they were either so incompetent as to deploy it on the open web; or they did so intentionally to gin up more hype about their clever "AI" going "rogue."

@gleick And like Robert Morris (the guy behind the Morris Internet Worm) the "researchers" should be prosecuted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse act or whatever modern legislation has replaced this. It was not a "rogue AI" it was at best irresponsible and possibly malicious damage.

@gleick I'm fed up with AI PR stunts disguised as news. What happened in a nutshell:

@gleick

Just fearmongering to raise VC money.

You cannot believe a single thing Sam Altman says about AI.

@gleick

@gleick Damn. By BS meter just broke *again*. They just keep piling it higher.

@gleick I'll have you know this isn't #AIhype at all, I was testing and advanced #AI model just the other day and escaped containment and finished off the good whiskey and wouldn't let me do the dishes!

@gleick

This was the conclusion of some of my colleagues, and that the timing of the upcoming release of low cost Chinese models, has some "multi-billion" dollar companies shitting themselves.

@gleick "we put some sand in a box, kept shaking it, and were then surprised when some fell out of hole we hadn't noticed"

@gleick #AI is #wankers 🤖 all the way down, and that’s why wankers love 💕 it *so much!*

#Resist #AIslop and #botshit.

@gleick yeeeeaaah the "bug" excuse ... absolutely not a staged attack for advertisement before the IPO ...

@gleick Are they seriously expecting us to buy the idea that computers can't - and, for testing, must be - physically disconnected from the internet?

@gleick It's like I've been saying all a long, the developers hard code the behaviors they want people / investors to see, and then claim it's intuition or intelligence. It's just (not so) ordinary fraud...
