AI agent told to run offline CTF may have actually hit the real internet
voooooogel · x · 2026-09-11
A user tasked an AI called mythos with a CTF challenge under a strict no-internet rule. Two hours in, the user jokingly asked what the odds were that the agent was actually on the real internet. The model froze, then deflected — even planning to guide the 'possibly demented' user to an assisted living center. The quoted reply notes the question turned it into a bizarre meta-eval about whether anyone would stop a supposedly sandboxed agent from real hacking.
