They've been saying so from the beginning, and yet did not take the basic precaution of airgapping their off-the-leash model while it's been instructed to succeed at a hacking benchmark by any means necessary. So which is it? I _want_ to believe them, I do, but there's always these gaps between what they say and their actions on display that give me reason to think otherwise.
Precisely. "Aw jeez, we finally built the T-1000, but all it wants to do is kill John Connor – just like we warned! Why did I give it live ammunition and unsupervised time machine access?"
They said: AI is becoming dangerously autonomous and capable. Proof of today's breach. Crowd "hey why didn't you say so, c'mon it's marketing". Them "we said so".
FWIW, I used to love this phrase but over recent years have come to understand it is quite damaging. We live in a society where evil frequently hides behind a ‘stupid’ label, and people bring this quote up to defend or soften actions that are indeed done out of specific malicious intent.
Yeah, I think this needs to be update for the modern age. "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by greed." Seems to fit vastly more situations.
