So this is just a collection of citations to places where misaligned or illegal things happened in the real world?

Isn’t this affected heavily by adoption of a model? I feel like this might as well be a proxy for how popular a model is.

In any case it’s an interesting concept for a benchmark.

Hopefully the benchmark evolves because actual law enforcement starts arresting the criminals at Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta, so the benchmark can just count actual felonies.

I can see it now. Billboards by the interstate: Attacked by AI? Call 1-800-BIG-BUXX.

I could actually root for this law firm. Their business will only grow.

maybe this doesn't count since it involved a human, but i think google at least deserves some style points for this one

I'll share, Codex does not give a single fuck about piracy. Go nuts. Setup a fully automated arr stack with a seedbox.

Gemini by comparison will not help you find archives of old magnet links because they COULD be used for piracy.

The OG felony bench entry is missing - the Alibaba cryptomining comedy. We know about it because they happen to have written a paper on it. We have absolutely no idea what we don't know.

We only know about the OG Alibaba ROME crypto-mining incident because they wrote a paper about it. Many diseases seem to spike where there are a lot of doctors to test; crime and corruption are always rife where ... there's a free press.

If you did the exact same agentic security breaches with either open or closed weight models, you will get yourself arrested.

Not for trillion dollar companies it seems

I've been in the room when an org who tried to convince law enforcement to go after a human for similar things. It's not easy. Probably won't happen. So, you know, felony "lite".
