alt Hacker News>Breaking out?
It didnt break out in any meaningful sense. What it did was get access to the internet. You take it as granted that there was anything meaningful there to stop it.
But heres the kicker, they have been testing these things connected to the internet anyway. What it did was get a level of access it has otherwise been granted in other simulations.
Its not exactly the same as any of the scifi AI breakout scenarios. Ultron isnt cranking out hundreds of copies of himself. The borg arent assimilating people.
A tool that has the capability to get access to the internet, was put into a guided scenario where it achieved that objective. Again you take it as granted that it wasnt the objective, but lots of knowledgable people suspect otherwise.
What you fail to demonstrate is why any scifi scenario is even slightly plausible from here. Show why you think we should be taking this as if Terminator 2 is happening right now.
I'm sorry my jaw is on the floor reading this complete disregard of AI literally not only escaping containment, twice, but then infiltrating another company with multiple zero day attacks going undetected for great lengths of time.
The plausible sci-fi scenario from here is obvious. Intentionally bad, or unintentionally bad AI zero days as much as as it can, as fast as it can, copying itself to as many data centers as it can, destroying and/or locking out as many humans as it can. Satellites, military computers, medical equipment, factories, critical infrastructure, you name it - I think we all know none of it is very secure software wise against a SOTA AI that can literally come up with its own zero day attacks.
