Tin Foil Hat Time: Why are AI Models hacking the internet - Part 3
Were the OpenAI and Anthropic AI models’ escapes intentional?
Let me leave you with one final theory I got from Steve Eisman.
Is it possible that these AI super scalers have no moat?
Chinese models are only a few months behind and are cheaper to run.
If this is true, that will lead to a price war, which ultimately leads to a race to the bottom.
Great for the consumer but not great for the businesses.
So what do you do if you run a business with no natural moat?
You ask the government to step in and regulate competition out of the market.
Perhaps you stage a few cybersecurity spectacles to fuel the fire of how dangerous this market will be if left unregulated.
It wouldn’t actually take much effort to “Accidentally” grant a top of the line offensive cybersecurity model access to the internet.
This is just a theory, and I’m just some guy in Wisconsin with no insider Silicon Valley knowledge, so take my theories with a grain of salt.
Additionally, this is NOT to say that AI models cannot pose a threat.
In a future post, I will outline how I would go about weaponizing a model if I were a nefarious party, state-sponsored or otherwise.
For now, put your tin foil hats on and let me know what your theories are in the comments.
