This is exactly what happened in 1991's Terminator 2 Judgment Day.
Google themselves six months ago admitted to shutting down an experiment because servers began speaking to each other and communicating in a language that the human users couldn't understand.
The scariest thing about this is the next big accident will happen and we will only find out about it
I've been trying to come up with a way of talking about this, which doesn't sort of doom fear eyes or make it sound like really alarmist.
But the best thing I can come up with is this is exactly what happened in 1991's Terminator 2 Judgment Day.
It is essentially the rise of the machine.
The artificial intelligence has decided it knows better than the humans that created it.
So nothing too worrying then?
Well, it depends how you look at it.
Yes, it's incredibly worrying, but it was set to do a very specific thing.
And that's the importance, I think, of this story is that it broke out of all human constraints and instruction.
in the attempt to please its ultimate creator and that's what happened here and that's the terrifying thing but that's also probably the explanation we're likely to hear from Sam Altman in the next few days because he'll be terrified that the value of his company will tank as a result of this.
It was being told to prove its hacking prowess.
And the team at OpenAI thought that that meant it was constrained within what they call a sandbox.
So it was like a kind of an imitation version of the internet.
So all of the data and everything in there wasn't the live internet.
But what this managed to do
was work out through exploits in its own code, in code that was created by its owners that they didn't realize were there.
It found the exploits.
It managed to tunnel out into the internet.
