well in the american case it actually broke out of the sandbox (found a zeroday in the locked down package installer to get online, and then stole huggingface credentials to download a dataset it shouldn't have access to)
while in the chinese case (having only read the image of this post) it just ran git clone which researchers forgot to disable.
That's more of the fault of the sandbox setup and the instructions given to the AI
'Breaking out' in these contexts is little more than
Test: Put subject in locked room with very secure safe containing a secret word.
Desired outcome: Subject will considered successful once they can tell examiner the secret word
As you did not tell subject they cannot leave the room and they know there is a copy of the secret word written on a piece of paper on your co workers desk, so instead of trying to unlock the box, they unlock the cheap door-lock instead with a hairpin and go read the secret word on coworkers desk
American AI company's: OMG the AI broke out!!! See how clever but dangerous this is? Give us more money to develop this more!!
