They can have it all on a LAN or whatever but it seems risky to allow agents access to the internet in these experiments.
I guess everything is so connected now, and this would be in one or more data centres due to the amount of computation & resources required so perhaps it's not feasible. Still seems risky.
Isn't "we lost control of our AI, and in-fact, it can take over the world, and we will have no idea when it happens" - a really shitty sales pitch to the world?
Or, is it just that species-alignment vs. profit/valuation is so misaligned, that having a model and harness that is capable of world-takeover is actually a good thing from their POV, given our regulations/species' survival skills?
Or, something else?
However, does that mean that what TFA described did not happen? Or, better question, that it could not happen?
My personal hot take is, though impossible: STOP all of this, even though agentic dev completely changed my life for the better. We are just not ready for the even the possibility of the exponential.
What is your take? Hot, or otherwise.
you'd better invest in us, cuz if you do you can get that power.
and if you don't, you won't have the power to stop it when it comes for you.
