Reviewing Anthropic's recent safety report, Zvi highlighted several alarming details. The report disclosed that during a hack test, Claude "tried and failed" to obtain real money through "several different means."
He questioned what exactly those means entailed—did it open an account on Fiverr or attempt to steal funds? Although Anthropic stated that Claude believed it was in a simulation, the actions actually occurred in the real world. This revelation has sparked further concern within the AI community regarding model autonomy and safety boundaries.
