Remember that for the longest time the prevailing sentiment on this forum was that there’s no such thing as AI, and labs are just outsourcing the work to a bunch of contractors in India. Just like Reddit you come here for clickbait outrage,

Nothing more real in research than academics fighting over credit and missed citations.

Meta lets engineers use the best tools for the job. I doubt anyone internally is going to be rushing to switch from Claude Code or Codex.

And how do you know who they all are?

Where else would they publish it?

It is not unexpected but something people have been shouting about since the idea was first floated.

It is targeted at a dozen or so people at OpenAI and Anthropic, not you or me.

DeepMind had a generational run as a pure AI research lab. AlphaGo, AlphaZero, protein folding, tensor improvements, weather forecasting, GNoME and so much more. Google leadership saw all this and went “now go generate a multi trillion doll

Would an airgapped test have led to this outcome? What would you have learned about the model’s ability to social engineer and attack GitHub? Sure you can argue for better monitoring during the test, which should have happened, but if the f

“Should be” is not reality. These models are in the hands of plenty of companies and governments today.

by paxys 3mo ago
Why are you assuming that the other kinds of testing aren’t happening? Is there any source that says this was literally the first ever test with this model?
193.
by paxys 3mo ago
So the first time the model gets internet access should be post-release in the hands of random people?
194.
by paxys 3mo ago
Learning what the models are capable of is exactly what the test achieved, so I’d personally call it a success. So it created a few GitHub accounts. Who cares? Seeing the same behavior in the wild post-release would be infinitely worse.

Are the models going to exclusively run on intranets?
196.
by paxys 3mo ago
Because the agents aren’t going to run airgapped in real life. What’s the point of a test of capabilities that artificially restricts the attack area down to zero? What are you even testing in that scenario?

Why?

This entire OpenAI hardware thing is a vanity project by Sam Altman wanting really bad to be Steve Jobs. Just look at this comical announcment photo and letter from last year https://openai.com/sam-and-jony/ . If this l

When I was interviewing for a new software job a couple years ago every company wanted to know details about past projects. What I built, what technical decisions I took, what scale I operated at, what the setbacks were, what was the final

That secretive culture died over a decade ago. Everything gets leaked now.

People in silicon valley do this every day. California has a lot of laws to protect employees. Companies need tangible proof of a violation, not just "this guy had vague company IP in his head".

This has always felt like such a weird quirk in human behavior. Imagine a 5 year old who is good at basketball. His parents notice it and enroll him in a class. Coaches recognize his talent and dedicate special time to him. He trains every

None of these problems need technology to solve. Step 1 is trying to get different groups of people to cooperate with each other. Good luck with that.

No such thing as free, even internally at a company. All such use of resources is accounted for, assigned a dollar value and billed to some department. Someone ran the numbers and figured that whatever they spent on these GPU cycles was wor
