    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.

      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

      The whole “AI safety” field is rooted in 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.

        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.

          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.

            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

      If I was a director of AI safety I wouldn’t let openclaw within 100feet of anything. Let alone my work machine.

        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.

      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.

      As a director of something, you are kinda public person. No way to just not tell.
