The whole “AI safety” field is this incompetent. These people that will tell you AI is on the verge of creating a bioweapon, and then run random code in a command line. Completely and totally unserious.
The “AI safety” field is about two things: marketing AIs as so powerful that they’re risky to use but riskier to get left behind by competitors using, and keeping AIs from doing so much brand damage that stock price suffers. This story is about marketing an AI as powerful.
It’s just the natural progression of a disease that spreads outwards from Management. The bosses want yes-men, not people capable of independent thought.
If the Director of AI Safety is plugging code with extensive security flaws documented and reported into their real life inbox, imagine the Average Joe.
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.

I don’t know what the hell has happened, but some of these people are basically human jellyfish. Big tech is full of them now.
No thought enters their mind, but they dodge the layoffs and the PIPs and get promoted like this.
I don’t fucking get it.

In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail
And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power
Especially your work mailbox, that is a prime target for hackers and scammers, where a hidden prompt for prompt injection isn’t that impossibile.
This IMHO is a fireable offense, not a funny anecdote
If I was a director of AI safety I wouldn’t let openclaw within 100feet of anything. Let alone my work machine.

Yep.
These people are all fucking complete clowns.
It would be one thing if they were just evil, but they have such an inflated view of themselves that they have no self awareness.
Fucking corpos man.
Which is par for the course on current ‘AI’.
They wanted to “eat their own dog food” but it’s closer to “eating their own dog shit”
As a director of something, you are kinda public person. No way to just not tell.
Okay but this is like the armoury master person shooting their own foot with a loaded gun when they were juggling guns.
Lee Paige has entered the chat
Remarkably well composed after shooting himself
Then the public wants to know where that hole in the director’s foot comes from.
How would the public find out that this woman’s email inbox got deleted though?
Admins exist, and they talk.
