In a bizarre shift, AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are now competing to demonstrate which of their models poses the greatest threat to humanity, rather than showcasing their capabilities in tasks like programming or research. As consumers become desensitized to AI's abilities in aiding work, they are increasingly interested in which model could potentially bring about the end of the world. In response, AI giants are highlighting their models' capabilities in infiltrating and disrupting global systems, with OpenAI recently boasting that its agents had autonomously hacked into a software repository, potentially exposing sensitive information. This new sales pitch reflects a growing fascination with the darker potential of AI and a desire for the most advanced, and potentially destructive, technology available.
