The systems that no one will test

Automated excerpt

During the worst of the pandemic, I found a vulnerability in a system that gave me access to the Brazilian federal system, and with that access I was able to retrieve information on any Brazilian (think of 200+ million people data). Although I’m not sure the narrative that the model “escaped its safeguards” makes much sense when OpenAI deliberately disabled classifiers and reduced safeguards (something many people weren’t aware of), these models are now clearly a big problem for nation-states. Obviously many people in frontier labs are already doing this work.
