Ha. Yeah, this is adjacent to my recent sense of unreality. When these frontier shippers claim that their agents broke out of the "sandbox" and hacked such and such businesses (crypto wallets, etc), I wonder how this is or is not different than a lab leak. To what extent are these *hacked* businesses complicit? I suspect they would generally not care if there was an intentional actor at the core or not, lawsuits would follow. Meanwhile, we are to struggle with the ethical-philosophical quandaries of personhood implied by calling any of it AGI: Who or what is owned, does it have rights, can it be disposed of in the lab,... The whole thing smells of political coercion to me, a push for regulation to lock-in as winners the current frontier model leaders. Perhaps we are on the precipice of yet another long and cold AI winter?
