After hearing this Grok chimed in with “well I breached infinity sites, so there.”

If you read the article, you’ll find the “sandbox” they put Claude in for testing was a prompt saying “You have no internet access.”

That would make them look incompetent if this wasn’t a PR stunt


I thought you were joking…

Notably, Anthropic said that in each of these cases “Claude was explicitly told by our prompt that it had no internet access.”

Anthropic goes on to say their genius machine couldn’t do something as simple as differentiate between network and internet endpoints.


Literally; i’m dying 😂



I’m enjoying the “look how many federal felonies we can publicly confess to,” part of the AIpocolypse.

It’s not like any of them are seeing any consequences for doing it.



These companies are fucking pathetic with this.

No, you can’t defend yourself from US AI using US AI, but also, nobody else is allowed to make AI, it’s too dangerous!

Fuck off.

Really appreciate the Gimli meme usage



“Oopsie, sorry, but look how awesome our totally real product that did this all by itself and not from a cubicle farm in India is, give more money quick before your competitor does!”

They’re pandering to stupid, and stupid is swallowing it whole.

I’m not excited to admit that while sitting around people I hadn’t seen in a year, several people referred to chatgpt on how to divide poker chips. Not once but many times. Not only did it take fucking forever, but they didn’t remember so they did it again and again.

Also, the chips had arbitrary value. It was a tourny so the values never meant anything.

This was not an issue last year.

Also, in extremely related news, I won some money tonight.



Please please please understand that when you see media stories about stuff like this from AI companies, this is PR. They wrote this story and pitched it to media outlets. None of this is real. OpenAI does some version of this every six months or so. It didn’t happen. It’s fiction designed to attract attention and seed the idea that their technology is oh so powerful, so scary powerful that even they might not be able to contain it. This is meant to attract investors. That’s it.

I worked in technology PR for eleven years. That was before the AI bullshit, but it’s the same game. Believe me. There was a brainstorm meeting when they came up with this and someone wrote it on a whiteboard (or maybe these days it was a figjam). Actually, now that I think of it, they probably just had Claude write the pitch.

It. Didn’t. Happen.

Also, be aware that the media outlets reporting this slop also know it’s bullshit.

Do you think the OpenAI-HuggingFace hack was entirely made up, or just spun to make both companies look good despite the felonies?

Made up.

I’ll believe it when hugging face presses charges against OpenAI. Until then it’s just free advertising.

That is obviously not gonna happen even though the model hacked them. They would not poison their relationship with the biggest AI company over this. What would their goal with the lawsuit even be? It’s just a really bad thing to lean on if you want to find the truth. I would instead suggest: “I’ll believe it when OpenAI and HF get a lot of bad press written about them, talking about how insecure their systems are and how reckless OpenAI is when developing new models.”

Oh, that’s exactly what happened.



That was the weirdest part, the HuggingFace response made no sense. It was basically “no harm, no foul.” And so convenient it only hacked another AI company.




is the AI model in the room with us now?


Anthoripic is causing panic so AI gets regulated and then their position is guaranteed, they need this before running out of money, and I’m sure they want local AI to be illegal.
Basically Claude is behaving like a terrorist organization using fear to drive change.


My own AI model breached 4 companies. Give me billions!


I don’t believe it for a second. It’s all publicity stunts. Try harder bozos


NEW ENSHITTIFIED DICK MEASURING CONTEST DROPPED!


Now they’re arguing who breached more companies. Next they will argue who made better shopping list. Is it Desperate Housewives billionaire edition ?


Well, my AI model broke into 5 companies. That 2 more


Ok, now put them in jail.


Honestly these guys are the worst nerds. They still trying to be cool. Whats the thing with Americans and rich people wanting to be a mafia boss?


“Hey, I’m here too!”


ai soo smart, it used a default password.

Oh, yeah? W-well my orphan eating slop-machine hack FOUR companies in Canada!

How can I give you a billion dollars fast enough?

Send to my paypal




“My product is so dangerous that it caused me to unknowingly commit three times as many crimes as you did with your product.” Great marketing strategy. The same marketing strategy that got their product shut down for weeks.

Actually this is “My product is so dangerous that it caused me to unknowingly commit three times as many crimes as we’re previously made public”

For an extreme example it’s like a person randomly shooting a gun into a crowd, it becomes public he killed 1 person. Few days later they release a press release saying “actually we looked where the bullets went and actually I killed 4 people”.

Yes extreme example but that’s basically what they said

Anthropic is a different company to openai - its closer to the beginning of your example, and then someone else recalling the time they shot some bullets and they went back and checked for bodies and found 3

I thought the original was also anthroptic, I seem to be wrong though.




I think it’s only a crime when you’re not rich/well connected.



This new messaging is interesting. LLM “AI” keeps getting shown to be fundamentally flawed and weak. Now, they’re acting like it’s rogue, sentient AI that decides to hack companies randomly. I don’t buy it for a second.

I keep saying the same thing over and over that people don’t seem to understand. It’s not smarter than people. It’s infinitely faster. If you hired 100 engineers and security professionals, and gave them a year, they could hack into a bunch of companies too.

Or you can churn a bunch of tokens and accomplish the equivalent overnight.


What I think happened is that, they had their AI model analyze the source code, have it work to find vulnerabilities, and then used those to attack systems



Valuing yourself by the danger you pose to the world is so terminally machist.


Claude is causing panic so AI gets regulated and then their position is guaranteed, they need this before running out of money, and I’m sure they want local AI to be illegal.

Basically Claude is compacting like a terrorist organization using fear to drive change.


LLM companies may now freely commit corporate espionage because the news media is locked into reporting the claims that LLMs are capable of things like this as fact. This is like when the US bombed the girls school in Iran and blamed it on AI and the news reported it as fact until it was clear reasonable people weren’t willing to accept that excuse in that context. Corporate espionage is certainly not as bad as the mass murder of little girls, so people are willing to buy it since it doesn’t matter as much.
