Back in the day, my college held an annual scavenger hunt, filled with engineering puzzles and racing around town looking for landmarks. There were "judges" in the path to check on progress. Bribing the judges (with alcohol) for answers was encouraged.
My friends and I took it to the next level. We had CB radios and multiple teams that would distribute the work and the bribes to give us an advantage.
Was that against the spirit of the rules? Maybe. But reasonable people might disagree.
In a hacking contest without explicitly spelled out rules with participants that were told to flex their muscles, it doesn't take a huge leap of logic to expect that one or more would flex their muscles at another entity.
- aesthesia 1mo agoHere are some things I'm pretty sure you didn't do, though: - pickpocket a random person on the street to get money to bribe the judges - break into a judge's house the night before to find the answers - threaten to shoot the judges if they didn't give you the answers Even when you were pushing the boundaries of the rules, you followed a lot of other unspoken constraints. You knew what kinds of things would clearly cross a line. We need AI models to be able to do the same.
