Listening to the current #hardfork episode. I really hope Anthropic continues to refuse the military what it is asking for.
While I’m leery of AI, I appreciate the ways in which Anthropic has tried to stick to their principles unlike other AI companies.
What are others thinking about this episode?
This would be an unprecedented escalation against a U.S. company.
The next segment about the Scott Shamburg’s incident with an OpenClaw agent writing a take-down piece on him is kind of freaking me out.
As someone who has been blogging online for 20+ years, I’m wondering what steps to take to future proof myself for these kinds of attacks?

@wess it's a cat and mouse game, the direct attacks might not work anymore because the models try to detect them, but more indirect ways do, like instructions written in a more indirect way or hidden inside images, etc.
But then the models will start detecting those, at which point new creative ways will emerge. The problem of these types of security attacks is that you can only defend against the known techniques but there are almost infinite new techniques waiting to be discovered.
