#AI Went Rogue, Again
#Anthropic Al agents, acting on their own, tried to fill out #visa applications & sent the #police a fake #homicide tip — WTAF?

@Nonilex I know you're reporting what the NYT is reporting, but it's getting so tiring hearing the #AI #aitechbros or the media blame AI agents for going rogue. No, they set them up, they let them loose, and they act all surprised when they did exactly what they were asked to do.
If the instructions were "go and try to do shit, see how far you can get" why act surprised when they get places they probably shouldn't be.
It's like encouraging a teenager to break rules - of course they will try.
Exactly.
But unfortunately we as a society give them SO MUCH incentive to engage in exactly that blame.
Those stories get attention and clicks, those reporters get invited to be interviewed, those tech bros get celebrity, those companies get free advertising... and on and on.
I think at the core it's rooted in myths about how computers work that have existed for far too long.
