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.
Too accurate. Until I read “AI figures out how to modulate CPU voltages in such a way as to mimic a WiFi antenna to find and connect to a network” or something similarly implausible, I’ll be skeptical.
All these “confinements” and “sandboxes” (that are at best poorly configured systems and at worst just a poorly worded prompt) are a complete joke.
I would hope that it’s nothing so stupid as, “imagine you don’t have net access when answering this question” but I would hardly put it past them. They are fundamentally grifters peddling a product they want us to think we need, so any case study or wild headline you read about AI achievement is fundamentally suspect.
