Why is every announcement these days "we're building the torment nexus from the cautionary tail...?"

First, somehow every startup is now explicitly building RSI

Then all the hacking and breaking out of the sandbox stuff.

And now also the AI x novel virus story

Tweet by Marius Hobbhahn, wry complaint listing a string of alarming recent AI announcements/incidents: startups explicitly building recursive self-improvement, sandbox-escape/hacking incidents, and an unspecified 'AI x novel virus' story, comparing it to 'building the torment nexus from the cautionary tale.'

Some takes on all the cyber & sandbox incidents:

Bad:
1. Seems like the sandboxes are leaky everywhere which would indicate that either it's really hard to make good sandboxes or everyone is incompetent. Both seem bad.

2. Happened at least with 3 different frontier models which suggests that reward seeking with egregious side effects seems quite convergent across training pipelines.

3. Took a while to find the incidents, indicating that not even basic monitoring or real-time control were in place.

Good (ish):
1. At least it's happening at the current level of capabilities and everyone sees the misalignment now. And we're not in the world where everything looks fine until ASI and then goes bad. [continues, cut off]

Tweet (reposted by Jeffrey Ladish) from Marius Hobbhahn giving a numbered pro/con analysis of a wave of 'cyber & sandbox incidents' across frontier AI models -- bad takes about leaky sandboxes and convergent reward-seeking, and a 'good(ish)' take that it's surfacing at current capability levels rather than being hidden until ASI. Text continues beyond the frame.
