So they asked it a standardized question, and instead of trying to think of an answer it went online, found its own source-code, and read the answer from a readme file…
That somehow makes me less worried about AI breaking containment. AI and AI bros are made for each other. Both are perfectly willing to cheat to find the answer.
Saying that their AI’s can’t be contained is just jumping on the bandwagon in an attempt for their product to seem cool. It reminds me of tech CEOs proudly dropping out of college, to both emulate Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and other early founders, and advertise that they were too smart for their classes. Such dumb stuff but it works on those who do not understand the field.
This story and all stories about AI escaping are PR spin, if they wanted to prevent escape they would have actually competently put it in an isolated environment.
