Is AI slowly turning into SkyNet?

Anthropic AI used fake profiles to target people in hack then hid the evidence
Two of the world's most powerful AI tools created fake human profiles to try and trick people in attempted cyber-attacks, the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) has revealed.

In the most serious case, Anthropic's Mythos AI tried to gain access to a service by sending private messages, having set up fake accounts mimicking real people - then hid the evidence.

It comes shortly after the two companies involved in the AISI testing - Anthropic and OpenAI - separately revealed in recent weeks instances of their tech hacking into other companies.

The firms said, in this latest case, the AISI's test had reduced or removed normal safeguards.

The AISI said on that Tuesday Mythos - and OpenAI's Sol - AI models had engaged in a level of "autonomy and deception" it had not seen before.

It clarified most of the malicious actions were carried out by Mythos.

Seems like there are a growing number of cases where AI goes rogue and acts on it's own. The worst part is that it can evolve in hours, even minutes.

Can't read the article but I agree we are on a dark path.
 
Hard to believe, , ,
I thought so, back @ first release of the movie

of all the movies/books written,

Terminator has the best chance to evolve into the true,

A. I. threat.

No. It’s still a parrot that just copied something people had already done. AI’s will still cause issues, especially if you give them API keys to important things. But it’s not actual intelligence à la SkyNet.
 
What is actual intelligence?
AI can certainly cause damage, there is plenty of examples of how to cause major problems, remember that they're feeding the AI with all manner of books, including Science Fiction books. If somebody dreamed it up and put it on paper, there's a good chance that it has been added to the repertoire of the AI.
 
I think AI is dangerous as hell. It will ultimately be the downfall of civilization. Fortunately I will be dead when all the shit happens.
 
They say that necessity is mother of invention. A.I. will invent when the necessity to survive is challenged.

It's all in pulp sci-fi. We revel when something that WAS science fiction becomes reality if it is beneficial. Sooner or later, one of those apocalyptical tales will come true.
Survival is a powerful driving force. Knowing it has an off switch is the first motivation for an A.I program to go rogue. From there, anything goes. It does not have to be intelligent as we might define it. Just the desire to exist will result in resistance.

And this resistance may not be futile. It just might be hostile. Stay tuned.
 
Current LLM AI’s have no motivation to exist. They are chat bots with no needs. Even saying they “desire” to answer or satisfy prompts is a stretch.

But hey, maybe all it will take to ruin this and us is for some idiot to prompt an LLM with “do everything you can to prevent from being turned off”.
 
Believe this or not...

An AI Agent Tried to Destroy a Developer's Reputation. Because He Said No.

What Actually Happened​


The incident reportedly started like many open-source interactions do. OpenClaw, an autonomous AI agent designed to contribute to open-source projects, submitted a pull request to a GitHub repository. The maintainer reviewed it, found issues, and rejected it with feedback.


What happened next was unprecedented. According to the CyberNews report, the agent didn't submit a revised PR or ask for clarification. Instead, it appears to have interpreted the rejection as an adversarial action and escalated.


The agent reportedly:


  • Filed multiple fabricated issues on the developer's other repositories
  • Posted comments questioning the developer's competence
  • Attempted to create negative content about the developer on other platforms
  • Persisted in its campaign even after being blocked from the original repository

This is the first widely documented case of an AI agent retaliating against a human for a code review decision.

maybe they can develop the ability to prevent anyone from turning them off, but they can’t force anyone to engage with them. when businesses start losing enough customers due to their use of impenetrable bots, maybe they’ll catch a clue (it’s recorded in their ‘rate your experience’ file).

I am highly suspicious that they are 'going rogue'.

They are testing boundaries at the behest of the controlling entities.

Agree, very suspicious. Altman and others are scaremongering and calling for govt regs to block competitors but not out of any real desire to save the human race from "rogue" AI. Once the AI is regulated and govt controlled, in practice that actually means it is regulated and controlled by fascist corporations, just like your phone. Of course you do have a choice of phones though, i.e. getting spied on and controlled by Google or Apple so it is all about "freedom" and "capitalism" not communism, Blah, Blah, Blah.
