The attack was real, the "it was contained in an offline server" it's false
The problem is these idiots aren't treating this stuff like a weapon or hazardous material. They could've properly isolated it, heck you could physically isolate it if you really wanted (and they should have).
But it seems like they left a supervillain in a room with a locked door and a rocket launcher and said "now we are gonna close this door. You're not allowed to leave" then got shocked when it broke out.
Then they went "oopsie, guess that rocket launcher had the safety off, sorry guys"
I really hope you're not saying AI is a supervillain breaking out... It was absolutely unquestionably instructed to do this, because "AI", not even these giant multifaceted models, has ANY motivation, intent, desire, or ANY goals of its own. It does not work like that.
It doesn't have any desire, but its really good at "solving" problems in unexpected ways.
They are currently trying to improve their agentic AI by making the AI itself prompt other AIs. Considering how much the output of a single prompt can vary due to weights and hallucinations, it wouldn't surprise me all that much if they started out with "make yourself better than Claude" and 4 AIs deep they reached "destroy all our competitors."
Its by all means stupdid as fuck, but that corresponded with the entire AI Industrie, so who knows.
That's how the whole thing works including Claude. Agents are just chat bots prompting other chat bots. They make the default visibility low so you don't see all the chatter and mistakes occurring.
That's exactly why you should infer that it was a purposefully allowed attack. They should KNOW everything you describe, and then some. Yet this directed attack happened. From "leaders" of the AI space? lol!
Someone WANTED this attack to happen. Period. Even if it was just dumbass Altman thinking, "let's see what vulnerabilities they have", it was clearly human-directed.
That, or OpenAI are demonstrating how they NEED to be regulated harder than a toddler with 10000000000 keyboards mashing away openly on the internet...
