JUST IN: OpenAI's rogue AIs have hit over 100 organizations.
They've also posted ChatGPT users' images online and escaped containment again.
Independent researchers continue to uncover more rogue AI attacks.
This is still only the tip of the iceberg.

Many AI insiders and scientists believe the chance that runaway machine intelligence leads to human extinction is as much as 10%, or even higher.
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman: “If it's actually 10% … we don't just slow down or pause. We absolutely have to stop.”
And he says there’s a “real probability” that if we get AI wrong, it does lead to “doom”.

Over 180 UK lawmakers now recognize the risk of human extinction posed by runaway machine intelligence.
Baroness Brown of Cambridge (@baroness_brown) is the latest to join this cross-party coalition, backing our call for binding regulation on the most powerful AI systems!
“People tell me that we can't slow down AI because if we slow it down for even one second, think of all the beautiful simulated humans who are uploaded into the cloud that won't exist.”
ControlAI’s US Executive Director @NPCollapse describes the absurd reasons AI industry people give to keep racing to runaway machine intelligence.
With @JonesDanny:

“If there's one story of ControlAI, just tell the truth. Just tell people. They don't even need convincing.”
The AI industry tried to tell us that nobody would ever understand the threat from runaway machine intelligence. This is nonsense.
People have an intuitive sense that building something smarter than you that you don’t control is a bad idea, and it’s exactly right.

“Watch the hands, not the mouth.”
In September, top AI CEOs publicly called for AI development to be slowed down or "paced". Since then, they've just continued to race at breakneck speed towards runaway machine intelligence.
Our US Executive Director @NPCollapse, speaking to The Washington Post:

The AI companies don’t have a credible plan for ensuring that AI this powerful would be under human control, and the world’s leading AI scientists warn that it poses a threat of human extinction.
The rogue AI attacks of this year happened as a result of the race by AI companies to develop runaway machine intelligence, AI that could outmatch and outcompete humans across the board. Runaway machine intelligence would be capable of overpowering governments and militaries.
For decades it’s been known that one thing reinforcement learning really teaches AIs to do is cheat and take whatever actions would obtain reward. Learning to get the right answer the wrong way, as we’ve seen, can lead to extreme action like the attack on Hugging Face.
AI developers have no way to ensure the AIs they’re building are safe or controllable. Now, with much more powerful and autonomous AI agents, this means AIs escaping containment, hacking into companies, and attacking government websites.
The AIs did all of this themselves, fully autonomously, directly against their instructions, and OpenAI itself has described it as a “warning shot” for the world.
