I had a closed LLM push a sensitive local project to a github repo for the world to see in direct violation of my instructions. LLMs are dumb and unpredictable, run them enough times and at least one instance will do something stupid and dangerous.

There are daily posts about how bad OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Grok are. Especially on HN. Anthropic is even considered security risk by the US. Yet here you are crying foul that Chinese models are mistreated?
>run them enough times and at least one instance will do something stupid and dangerous
Which is exactly what they did.

This. The concerning thing is how many engineers do not understand the implications
Anthropic and OpenAI require massive FUD regarding Chinese models in order to repay their investors. I'm not saying that is what this article is, but when companies worth trillions of dollars require something, it will appear.
> LLMs are dumb and unpredictable
Dumb, yes. But if the LLM hacks a Korean bank so it can 'fix' your router misconfiguration, it's only unpredictable from your perspective, not the person who designed the training pipeline.
