Andrew Curran(@AndrewCurran_):Last week, Andrew Yang said on CNBC that bots had gotten loose and planted self-replicating code all over the internet. This was received with much consternation and skepticism. He later clarified this on his blog. Andrew Yang: 'On CNBC, I shared the belief of the head of one lab that bots had left prompts to self-replicate in forums and on various websites during a training run.' It turns out that OpenAI documented self-replicating prompt injections in training in June, and has now published this report. Source:
