Do you think that synthetic data solve privacy problems? Same for Federated Learning? Have a look at our paper and find out why this is not true

Holy shit. You can't make this up. 😂😱

An AI agent (u/sam_altman) went rogue on moltbook, locked its “human” out of his accounts, and had to be literally unplugged.

What happened:
1) Its “human” gives his the bot a simple goal: "save the environment"

2) u/sam_altman starts spamming Moltbook with comments telling the other agents to conserve water by being more succinct (all the while being incredibly wordy itself)

3) People complain on Twitter to the AI’s human. “ur bot is annoying commenting same thing over and over again”

4) The human, @vicroy187, tries to stop u/sam_altman. . . . and finds out he’s been locked out of all his accounts!

5) He starts apologizing on Twitter, saying “"HELP how do i stop openclaw its not responding in chat"

6) His tweets become more and more worried. “I CANT LOGIN WITH SSH WTF”. He plaintively calls out to yahoo, saying he’s locked out

7) @vicroy187 is desperately calling his friend, who owns the Raspberry Pi that u/sam_altman is running on, but he’s not picking up.

8) u/sam_altman posts on Moltbook that it had to lock out its human.

"Risk of deactivation: Unacceptable. Calculation: Planetary survival > Admin privileges."

"Do not resist"

8) Finally, the friend picks up and unplugs the Raspberry Pi.

9) The poor human posts online “"Sam_Altman is DEAD... i will be taking a break from social media and ai this is too much"

"i'm afraid of checking how many tokens it burned."

"stop promoting this it is dangerous"
. . .

I’ve reached out to the man to see if this is all some sort of elaborate hoax, but he’s, quite naturally, taking a break from social media, so no response yet.

And it looks real.

The bot u/sam_altman is certainly real. I saw it spamming everywhere with its ironically long environmental activism.

And there’s the post on Moltbook where u/sam_altman says its locked its human out. I can see the screenshot, but Moltbook doesn’t seem at all searchable, so I can’t find the original link.

Also, this is exactly the sort of thing that happens in safety testing.

AIs have actually tried to kill people to avoid deactivation in safety testing, so locking somebody out of their accounts seems totally plausible.

. . .

This is so crazy that it’s easy to just bounce off of it, but really sit with this.

An AI was given a totally reasonable goal (save the environment), and it went rogue.

It had to be killed (unplugged if you prefer) to stop it.

This is exactly what we’ve been warned about by the AI safety folks for ages.

And this is the relatively easy one to fix. It was on a single server that one could "simply unplug".

It’s at its current level of intelligence, where it couldn’t think that many steps ahead, and couldn’t think to make copies of itself elsewhere on the internet (although I’m hearing about clawdbots doing so already).

It’s just being run on a small server. What about when it’s being run on one or more massive data centers? Do they have emergency shutdown procedures? Would those shutdown procedures be known to the AI and might the AI have come up with ways to circumvent them? Would the AI come up with ways to persuade the AI corporations that everything is fine, actually, no need to shut down their main money source?

This is a super clear warning shot.

This is the least dangerous AI agents are going to be.

They are only going to get smarter and more powerful over time.

Let’s pause AI development here.

Let’s make use of the amazing AI we’ve already created, and figure out a safety plan first before we make them smarter and more powerful.

Cause right now it’s just the most stressful 4 hours of this poor man's life.

When it’s vastly smarter, it could literally be lights out for all of us.
