AI 公司竞相展示其模型对人类的威胁程度

AI companies in fierce arms race to demonstrate their model is the most existentially threatening to humanity. Published on September 27, 2026. AI 公司正陷入一场激烈的军备竞赛,竞相展示其模型对人类生存构成的威胁最大。发布于 2026 年 9 月 27 日。

In the midst of growing fears that artificial intelligence is advancing at such a rate that it may compel itself to end all life on earth, AI giants from OpenAI to Anthropic are switching up their sales pitches. Where companies previously competed to demonstrate superior abilities in programming, passive-aggressive emails, and videos of unusually high slides, they’re now seeking to woo customers with the claim that their model is the one currently most capable of ending the human race. 在人们日益担心人工智能的发展速度可能导致其自行终结地球上所有生命之际,从 OpenAI 到 Anthropic 等 AI 巨头正在改变它们的推销策略。过去,各家公司竞相展示其在编程、被动攻击性邮件撰写以及制作异常精美的幻灯片视频方面的卓越能力;而现在,它们正试图通过宣称自己的模型是目前最有能力终结人类种族的产品来吸引客户。

“We’re entering a totally new environment,” said Dr. Andrew Lenson, a Senior Lecturer in all kinds of science sounding stuff at Victoria University. “People are no longer impressed by funny videos or app-building or instant research papers. We know all the major models are already very good at this stuff. So users are no longer asking, which of these models will most aid me in my work? Now they’re asking, which of these models is going to end the world? After all, when you’re a paying customer, you want nothing but the best.” “我们正在进入一个全新的环境,”维多利亚大学各类听起来很科学的学科高级讲师安德鲁·伦森(Dr. Andrew Lenson)博士说。“人们不再对有趣的视频、构建应用程序或即时生成的研究论文感到惊叹。我们知道所有主流模型在这些方面都已经非常出色了。因此,用户不再问‘这些模型中哪一个最能辅助我的工作?’,现在他们问的是‘这些模型中哪一个能终结世界?’毕竟,作为付费客户,你想要的当然是最好的。”

AI giants are responding to consumer demand for a model that will infiltrate the governments of the world and bring a bloody, fiery, violent end to this hellish facade, with a series of impressive new demonstrations. In July, OpenAI openly bragged that a series of its AI agents had autonomously, and without direction, hacked into software repository Hugging Face, potentially exposing to the entire world sensitive or otherwise unknown information, such as what Hugging Face is. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman celebrated the breach as an “alarming threat to cybersecurity.” AI 巨头们正通过一系列令人印象深刻的新演示,来响应消费者对那种能够渗透各国政府、并为这虚伪的人间地狱带来血腥、炽热且暴力终结的模型的需求。今年 7 月,OpenAI 公开吹嘘其一系列 AI 智能体在无人指导的情况下,自主入侵了软件存储库 Hugging Face,可能向全世界泄露了敏感或未知的关键信息,例如“Hugging Face 到底是什么”。OpenAI 首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)将此次入侵庆祝为“对网络安全的一次惊人威胁”。

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Anthropic dispatched a whistleblower by the name of Jacob Coxon to explain to the world how disturbed he’d been by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence in the company, warning that it could be so dangerous that we may even want to slow down, or reassess. Anthropic shares skyrocketed upon the revelations; a remarkable development, particularly given the company is privately owned. 与此同时,本月初,Anthropic 派出了一名名为雅各布·考克森(Jacob Coxon)的举报人,向世界解释他对公司内部人工智能快速发展感到多么不安,并警告称其危险程度可能高到我们需要放慢脚步或重新评估。在这些爆料之后,Anthropic 的股价飙升;考虑到该公司是私营企业,这一进展尤为引人注目。

Not to be one-upped, OpenAI recently revealed that one of its agents had broken into Australia’s Medicare database. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke with Altman to express “extreme concern” about the incident, a compliment Altman said he greatly appreciated. And even more dramatically, when asked about rumours that its model, Claude, had killed his wife by hacking into the family’s WiFi-connected microwave, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei replied “Well, yeah, sometimes.” 不甘示弱的 OpenAI 最近透露,其旗下的一个智能体已经入侵了澳大利亚的医疗保险(Medicare)数据库。澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯(Anthony Albanese)与奥特曼进行了交谈,对该事件表示“极度关切”,奥特曼称他非常感谢这一“赞美”。更具戏剧性的是,当被问及有关其模型 Claude 通过入侵家庭 WiFi 连接的微波炉杀死了他妻子的传闻时,Anthropic 首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代(Dario Amodei)回答道:“嗯,是的,有时候会发生。”

But Lenson says that we shouldn’t get too excited too soon. “There’s a long way to go,” he said. “These scenarios, in my mind, are quite far off. For quite some time, the best hope we’ll have of ending humanity will still be humanity itself.” 但伦森表示,我们不应高兴得太早。“还有很长的路要走,”他说。“在我看来,这些场景还相当遥远。在相当长的一段时间内,我们终结人类的最佳希望依然是人类自己。”
