World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sounds like the AISI are irresponsible and negligent - they took off the guardrails and gave it internet access, then didn't monitor it.
It's possible all these "totally unexpected breaches" are just AI companies testing the waters to see what they can get away with.
"Oopsie poopsies, we didn't know our AI would scrape tax records when we told it to do that! Totally unexpected emergent behavior, we are not responsible..."
AISI is the AI Security Institute, so it's within their remit to discover what the AI companies' products can do - but then to not be monitoring them while they were running is where I call incompetence and negligence.
This is at least independent verification that these "breaches" aren't just AI bro marketing.
Wrong, they're in bed with Anthropic.

Here we were having a civil, good faith discussion, then you start flinging around downvotes to try to suppress any post you don't 100% approve of. That's not conducive to quality discourse, and you should stop it. You comments votes are downvotes 42% of the time.
Thanks for the link and I'll look into this, but I won't be talking with you any further.
I thought it was a bad comment, so I downvoted it. I may be open to removing the downvote.
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. My comments get downvotes 42% of the time? Or I downvote comments 42% of the time?
I often have discussions with death cultists and open bigots, I may be in the habit of downvoting and/or being downvoted.
