These are dangerous marketing stunts that normalize using AI for black hat behavior. We shouldn’t be normalizing this to sell the technology. It’s like a gun company boasting about how many times their gun was used in a bank robbery or something.
If their claims are true, it's more like a gun company boasting about their auto-targeting gunbot escaping containment and shooting civilians.
If they're lying, it's just idiotic. Are we supposed to be impressed that you made a dangerous machine and failed to keep the world safe from it?
