This is a pure marketing stunt, OpenAI saw that it worked with Mythos and wanted to do the same.

Those instructions, according to OpenAI, called for using “complex attack paths” to test how well the AI could exploit a computer system. […] “It went off and did this hack all by itself, as far as we can tell,” said Colin Shea-Blymyer, a cybersecurity research fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

Emphasis mine. So, the frontier model that has been tasked with attacking a system, did what it’s been told to, after its safeguards that will prevent you from opening chatgpt and doing the same have been turned off.

OpenAI said the intrusion was caused by a combination of its AI models, including its newly released GPT‑5.6 Sol and an “even more capable” model that is still being tested internally.

Oh my god, an “even more capable” model? Let me buy OpenAI stock immediately. This is such an obvious bait and Antrophic move they’re pulling off, it’s amazing.

People definitely choose which projects to use / buy depending on political leanings or affiliations by the creators / companies behind it, because a “political leaning” is nothing more than a stance on politics, just as there is a stance on FOSS, AI, Conduct, Project direction, yadda yadda.

See Ukraine flags or calls for Palestine support, as an example of recent-ish political stances in software.

It’s just that those stances always work both ways. You will have people choosing omarchy, because “finally an OS without the woke agenda!!!”, you will have people not touching it because fuck nazis, and in IT there’s always the third group of “I don’t know or care who the author is or what he does, the project is good, so I’m using it.”

The tech giant says the system only analyzes hand-movement points from a short video, does not record audio, and deletes the footage after verification.

It’s just a short video guys, there’s even no audio! And they pinky promise to delete it.

What a fucking shitshow that is. Like, honestly, I’m fine with regular captchas, even if they are the shitty ones. The newer (?) captchas that force you to do solve 5 bullshit “place this there” captchas are already reason enough for me to just leave the site. But if you force me to record a video of me throwing gang signs at the camera, probably several times again, because the movement was not correctly identified, I’m sure as fuck to never visit anything related to you ever again.

I also love the irony that Google fights people bots, while they are scraping the whole internet and investing into AI automation massively.

Use at your own risk.

What an amazing conclusion, and the best part is, no matter what you’ve been waffling about before - it’s always right. Can we stop calling random things AI slop and telling to be careful bEcAuSe iTs Ai sLoP, and go back to being cautious until something has been reviewed properly? Being careful with random stuff from GitHub you install and run in your private network?

Your whole comment may have been AI slop as well. “From a quick glance at the repo”, you should be careful! Thanks, Sherlock.
