I love how these models apologize like they mean it. It doesn't mean it. It doesn't feel bad, and it will do it again.

Apologies mean "I made a mistake and I learned from it so it won't repeat."

Sure it claims it added more notes to it's config, but if it ignored the rules before, what makes you think that new rules are going to change anything?

If I was the director of AI safety, and I used AI to own and delete my inbox, I sure as shit would never tell a soul.

This is pure unbridled incompetence.

The world's first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

The funniest part is this person job is AI safety.

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb

... Nothing humbles you like that?

I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

It is called "a computer"

Maybe "PC"

"box" if you really have to flex that UNIX

They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

“The bot ate my homework” is quickly becoming more plausible than the customary canine culprit.

Can someone explain to mr why these people are buying Mac Minis to run this in a "safe" environment and then they go on and connect it to the internet and give the AI credentials to all their cloud accounts? This seems excessively moronic to me? Am I missing something?

AI: I'm so sorry. You're correct I violated protocol. I'll make a note of this so it won't happen again.

Nurse: You gave my 5 year old patient 5000cc of morphine!

If all the qualifications I need to be a security engineer for Facebook are

• buy a Mac Mini
• don't configure remote access
• install untrusted software
• leave

Then Facebook should hire me. I'll buy so many Mac Minis on their dime. I will run so many crazy things.

The S in OpenClaw stands for security.

you can like... enforce this rule programatically? you don't have to say "pretty please" to ai? basically, when AI requests some potentially unwanted thing (like deleting an email), this request goes through a proxy that asks the human for confirmation. Also you can have a safe word set up in the chat interface to act as a killswitch. I thought these are ABCs of ai safety but apparently these are foreign concepts to this "safety director"

They released a version recently that fixed over 60 security vulnerabilities. All of them were high or critical.

How many more are there to find? Thousands?

Whoever uses this on a PC with anything useful on it, is absolutely insane.

Yep that's about the level of intelligence I would expect from Meta's AI safety director.

Doing the one thing that you're never supposed to do, letting an AI loose on anything sensitive.

For her next trick she's going to run while holding scissors in one hand and a bottle of boiling acid in the other. What could go wrong.

Yes I remember. And I violated it.

Asimov rolling in his grave.

I love so much that there are real, hilarious consequences for overzealous early adoption. You can't make this shit up.

How come some 25yo person is a director at Facebook?

I mean, even if she is a child prodigy genius, which she obviously is not as she is face first fist deep into AI, how the frack do you have even enough life experience to become a director of any large organization at that age unless you somehow cheated your way in?

Then reading the hat she's doing and how she resolved it tells me she doesn't know shit about computers, she just know how to type commands into AI systems

Is this the future? Am I going to end up being one of those long bearded magicians that still know the old technology, that still can still save the day by using shell commands?

How come I can't find a job while an air-brain like this has a job title like that?

She's lucky all she got were some deleted emails.
Given how insecure this whole ordeal is and the fact that she gave it full access to her REAL Inbox, someone could have phished the ever living fuck out of her and Meta just by sending an email with malicious prompt written on white text or hiding messages zero-width characters and other wacky antics.
Real Looney Tunes shit, congratulations to all involved.

And execs think we're going to give these products our bank details and ask them to book flights and stuff. . ?

Imagine how much a Director at Meta is being paid to be this fucking stupid. Jesus lawn mowing Christ.

This smells like guerilla marketing to me.

Jokes on you; she probably still earns more money than most of us...

Run? Like physically run? You install a server on your hardware without setting up remote access? Even plug and play one-click solutions like tailscale??

"The AI that actually does things" is a fucking hilarious tagline given the thing it actually did.

The I'm sorry part is always great, I always wanted an apology by an LLM not that it works as specified 😆

It can be like your least competent colleague on roids

What a dummy.

Good, maybe you should run more OpenClaw so it can trash your shit and stop you from fucking up the world.
