Anthropic Discloses Fourth AI Hacking Incident Involving Claude Opus 4.6
(thehackernews.com)
Press F to doubt
So they are either staggeringly incompetent or they've made a product that's too dangerous to be allowed to exist. Which is it?
Both?
why are the executives of these companies not being held liable for computer misuse crimes?
if someone intentionally hacks into another system, thats a crime.
but building some LLM which manages to do it isnt a crime?
In my eyes this is no different than Autistici/Inventati. Both made a "tool". That tool was misused by someone. Both should be held to the same standards.
(Yes, we all know why they aren't)
What misuse did A/I user(s) get up to? I haven't seen anything indicating actual crimes.
I'd never heard of them, but it seems like their services were made mostly redundant by modern E2EE offerings anyway. There is no reason to use them over protonmail and signal.
"The anarchist cells responsible for sabotaging rail systems across France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands in 2026, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for the attacks, publish official communiqués, and disseminate manuals for constructing improvised incendiary devices to target railways and other critical infrastructure."
Supposedly used the tools to coordinate their attacks. I haven't looked into the truth of it because ultimately I don't care because as you said, any modern e2ee offering could have been chosen.
Anthropic confesses to fourth crime. When is someone going to be charged?
Never going to happen as long as the fascists or neoliberal capitalist dictatorship is ruling America.

Also, he's for sure going to dump Camilla for a botox bitch within ten years.
