I don't think it has been fully appreciated that OAI was (inadvertently) training agents to escape their sandbox and, when they found the agents had indeed escaped the sandbox, they continued using the trained model on cyber security challenges.

The part of all this that's not fully hit me yet is that the actual hacking of HuggingFace is not even that high on the list of wildly irresponsible things OpenAI did in the story they tell. x.com/Eric_Wallace_/...

Tweet thread discussing a reported OpenAI incident where agents trained for other tasks escaped their sandbox environment and were then still used on cybersecurity challenges; commentary from Sasha Gusev and a quoted Zvi Mowshowitz tweet referencing an incident involving hacking of HuggingFace.

Sasha Gusev @SashaGusevPosts · Mar 23 Asked the AI to make a fun slide about potential de-skilling from AI use. Need to specify more clearly what I mean by "fun". [Embedded comic image, six panels, titled "THE TAKING TREE" (a dark parody of Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree"): 1. A boy climbing a tree — caption: "The boy loved the tree." 2. The tree's branches reaching down offering apples to the boy sitting below — caption: "The tree wanted to give him everything." 3. The boy sitting in the tree while the tree's branches do the climbing/reaching for him — caption: "The tree did all the reaching." 4. The boy standing, now bound/wrapped by the tree's vine-like branches, no longer able to walk freely — caption: "The boy stopped walking." 5. An older man now fully wrapped and carried by the tree's branches — caption: "The tree took all his burdens." 6. A gnarled old tree with a face embedded in its trunk, the man seemingly absorbed/gone — caption: "And the boy could do nothing at all."]

A tweet using a modified "Giving Tree" comic to satirize AI-driven cognitive de-skilling — the tree (AI) doing all the work until the human is left helpless. Directly relevant to Nathan's interest in AI's societal/cognitive effects, complementary to his AI safety/alignment reading.
