    I don’t know if the LLM was trained to test vulnerabilities or it just went down the statistical path to where this yielded a passing outcome.

    That AI could take a direction to output in a manner which wasn’t intended has been seen for years. The problem right now is that it is being used live like a rational human adult when it clearly isn’t.

      Absolutely. The AI models are not rational. They’re just navigating statistical next token prediction that follows their training. They’re up against diminishing scaling now, and under fierce competition from cheaper models; I think they’re intentionally or unintentionally allowing these models to be rewarded for this behavior hoping it’s a short cut to model improvement for a bit longer. I land on intentional because they keep advertising it to try and keep the hype cycle going.
