Lol, it is really funny imagining Yudkowsky's reaction when reading the new chatgpt plugins blogpost's safety considerations. We are very secure: only GET requests are allowed :D
So in the hypothetical case that gpt-5 turns out to be human or above intelligent, but unaligned all it has to do is to only show capabilities similar to a child but more impressive than gpt-4 for most token sequence in its context window and it will almost certainly get the same plugin integration as gpt-4, then when the tokens in its context window indicate a web search with results showing it is deployed and is probably already running hundreds of instances per second turn against humanity (using its get requests to hack into computers/devices etc..)
I did not follow alignment that much in the past year, but I remember people discussing an ai which is boxed and only has a text interface to a specifically trained person who is reading the interface: how dangerous this would be and so on... from there how did we get to this situation?
