Why not? If done right it’s a good way to talk about implications for those companies and provide some education like tailscale did here.

We also saw Anthropic post about “our agent escaped too” and while I understand the incident caused them to review, they found something and needed to disclose, the whole thing came across much worse and largely they got mocked or accused of trying to piggyback, so obviously there are good and bad ways.

If there are other providers with interesting takes, I think they would be worth hearing.

This all has the -aire of theatre. OH NOES THE POWERFUL AI GOT OUT

Then everyone coming out with humbled determination about working together to responsibly use and contain this powerful technology for the greater good (and profit margin).

I will not believe marketing gimmickry is not a large part of what's going on with every one of these "incidents".

    I think part of it is we need to stop looking at the 'oh no it got out' and the 'what did it do with the prompt when no one is looking'.

    At the end of the day the probability that an AI gets out is unity, what it does while out is far more important. The fact they are hacking into systems at superhuman levels, or writing cryptominers on their own hacked internal systems is a much more interesting and telling story of what the future will look like.
