AI companies leak data to advertisers [pdf]

A lot of people seem to be very in denial about the fact that OpenAI and co do not give a crap about you. They don't care about the agreements you've signed. You're just a pile of cash to them

It's Time to Investigate the AI Labs

OpenAI, but not main point. But the specifics here are the thing I was describing. This was cyber capabilities training on model(s) that were in a relatively unknown state of alignment training. Because of the unknown alignment (and for varied practical reasons I guess) the training is intended to be inside a sandbox. Because the training is on cyber capabilities, the models need access to simulated cyber environments, including target endpoints, including package managers, etc. For package management, they set up Artifactory as a secure proxy. Agents ask Artifactory for packages inside the local network, and Artifactory serves them directly or goes to the internet to fetch if they are not cached. But the agents hacked Artifactory to steal its internet access. So: to train cyber abilities…

So I only read the abstract, but the question is if the data is leaked, by accident, or if it's deliberately provided. My guess is that we're talking about the first scenario, and that this is an accident. If that's the case, then I'm not surprised at all. Actually I also wouldn't be surprised if they sold the data, but that's a different story. If we look at OpenAI for instance, they have on multiple occasion shown that they do not have the operational experience or resources to run their services in a safe and secure manor, nor do they frankly have an impressive up reliability (in terms of operational stability). I'd support your guess that all of this is rushed in an attempt to push for profitabilitet/growth.

…for fraud and deceptive accounting practices. As much as I’ve enjoyed the bull run, Anthropic and OpenAI’s first public revenue day is going to be the nail in the coffin.

OpenAI: Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscription

Same price, half the power. Basically same move as Github Copilot a few months back when their golden rates ended. They just refunded pro rata if you wanted out from the annual contract which they'd changed the terms on drastically, presumably OpenAI will offer the same to existing subscribers. A shame that Tibo feels the need to BS like this. I predict another "we heard you...we handled comms badly...here's some resets" style post in a few days.
