It is a marketing stunt. All the thoughtfulness and nuance is thrown out by breathless "look at all the things these models do!".
And then you pull the curtain, and it is inevitably "the model did almost exactly what we told it to do inside a poorly secured sandbox"
Ah, more baseless conjecture based on hatred for the labs. Haven't seen this before!
What you describe there isn't remotely close to reality, but don't let the facts stand in the way of your seething.
"baseless conjecture" when it literally what the labs themselves and all security researchers are saying. E.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50219616
But you're free to believe whatever you want to believe of course.
As more and more details trickled in in the several weeks after incident, all security researches as one said "nope, it's not a sophisticated attack, you literally don't know anything about cybersecurity, and don't employ anyone who does."
This is exactly the kind of absolute bullshit I’m talking about. This quote isn’t even possible. It’s beyond hyperbole. No sources, no facts, no data, just vibes.
And labs didn’t say anything of the sort either. More lies.
