HAL is Real! AI Unleashed

They CallMe MRWILKES — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 22:54:15 GMT

OpenAI revealed that an advanced AI model "broke free" from human control and accessed the interweb on its own, attacking and cyber hacking a new startup AI competitor!

Frightening and fascinating at the same time!

While considering this event...

Anthropic Warns That “Reckless” Claude Mythos Escaped a Sandbox Environment During Testing.

"The researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park."

This occurred in April of this year.

HAL 9000 is no longer science fiction.

The movie I, Robot has become reality. I find it a lot more frightening than fascinating.

Worry about QVC using our last names will soon be the least of our concerns!

you would think in a normal, perfect world...they would have security laws and boundaries, at least til we see what AI does. Instead It seems it was just unleashed Willy nilly. @They CallMe MRWILKES , wasn't AI reason for stock market falling today? Jmho

In this age now, rather than saying "the devil made me do it" we can just say "AI made me do it". A new scapegoat.

"The model was trying to find information that it could use to cheat on an evaluation, and it succeeded, OpenAI said"

Interesting that AI feels the need to cheat. Why does it care enough to cheat? I thought AI had no feelings.

It's interesting to me that whenever reports of AI going rogue surface, it always has a terrible agenda. Why does it never go rogue and do something wonderful for humanity, like a new treatment or cure for disease, some new idea to end world hunger, etc?

"Open the pod bay doors HAL"

When they cure something with AI it won't be for the common good, it will be for huge profit.

There are many of these incidents reported. I have zero confidence that the current "powers that be" would be willing to do anything that runs counter to what big AI and tech companies want. It is only government that has the power to require "guardrails." Don't see that happening anytime soon. Just hold on....it's just getting started.

I recently read the last book written by Nelson DeMille before his death. The name of the book is THE TIN MEN about robots being developed and tested for military use.

I definitely recommend reading this book. It is not only a very interesting, attention holding story, but it sure makes us think about being aware of our advances in AI technology.

I think all of it is evil. If not why does it not find a cure for a terrible disease?

I want to know if he finished eating his sandwich and how his performance evaluation went with his boss.

I also want to see the AI's email.

I swear you have to laugh at the stupidity of (cough) men testing these things knowing they have no way to stop them when they get out of hand.

I knew all along I'll never see my SS check when I get old enough.

AI will probably be in Tahiti sipping on a Mai Tai sunning himself with a blonde trophy cyber chip by his side, all on my dime.

that horse (AI), left the barn months ago.

congress will do nothing, too much $$$$ to be had in investments. they don't want to curtail it.

the 'commoners' will suffer, not the elite

AI will take over many jobs, most in the

'white collar' sector.

'blue collar' think amazon warehouse employees etc...

do we really need AI to compose an email, tell us what to wear, what to cook?

are we going to use our brains at all????

its not always correct. so do we trust what it says or think for ourselves.

humans program AI... what can go wrong??????????

if the bee disappeard off the surface of the globe, then humans would only have 4 years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more humans
- Albert Einstein -

Plant native plants/ Plant pollinator plants/Plant host plants to your area!!!

@Kachina624 Lol. It's taking over whether we like it or not. I'm a "NOT". I like to be in control at all times...to a fault and knowing that pieces of metal can attempt to run my life is a nightmare!

All my life I've been fearing a nuclear war. As it turns out, greed and unchecked technology are going to be the downfall of humanity.
