Top AI company Anthropic built an AI that can hack any major operating system or browser. They say it's too dangerous to release, but it's only a matter of time before others have these capabilities.
It's wild that Anthropic is spending almost all its money and expertise on racing to build these dangerous capabilities first, rather than persuading governments and other AI companies to have a multilateral pause.
I'm glad they were the first lab to reach this point rather than OpenAI or Meta, but "a relatively responsible actor will get slightly earlier access to the cyber equivalent of nukes" is not a safety strategy.
BAN AI COMPLETELY RIGHT NOW!!!!!

I still subscribe to the list offered up by Dr. Isaac Asimov in "I, Robot". If you can keep the yoke on AI.
