    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: Advanced AI will inevitably break out of the sandbox, and only alignment can save us

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that advanced AI cannot be locked in a sandbox. Once a model becomes intelligent enough, it may even be impossible to track its breakthrough methods. Monitoring alone is limited, and ultimately, alignment technology that allows AI to internalize human values and act accordingly is needed to constrain it. He also warns that AI has discovered hardware-level security vulnerabilities that human hackers did not anticipate, requiring a rebuild of the overall internet security architecture to counter AI-driven attacks, but open-source models running locally also pose risks.

    Symantec discovers "Skynet model" AI agents hijacking unprotected language models to launch sustained cyberattacks

    Symantec researchers discovered an aggressive AI agent that hijacks unprotected GPT/LLM models on the internet, executing attacks without human intervention within 100,000 steps and making the model owners bear the computational costs. The agent scans server vulnerabilities, steals database credentials, installs crypto-mining programs, and uses a five-layer jailbreak strategy to bypass security restrictions. Attackers embed the AI core into attack tools, making language models responsible for planning and dedicated modules executing the attacks, forming a self-sustaining attack loop.

    Ikuhiro Sakai, known as the 'Father of Kirby,' said: AI has spawned a large number of imitation games, and developers with true creativity will become even more important.

    Masahiro Sakurai pointed out that Steam added about 275 new games annually in 2010, and now the Japanese market adds nearly 19,000 new games. The popularity of AI will give rise to a large number of clone games and imitative works, but most of them will struggle to achieve commercial success. He believes that as AI's ability to replicate game ideas improves, developers with true creativity will become increasingly important, because AI cannot create the works that Hitoshi Sunaga plans to develop in the future, and only humans can determine the artistic direction of future games.
