How much of the “danger” is from better models vs the harness?

Isn’t the current risk due to how AI is configured, like giving it a full set of tools and internet access and a goal to hack stuff?

If we think we need laws or gate keeping, why isn’t it at this level? I already can’t ddos someone or fuzz their server or whatever right, I imagine if I threw equivalent compute at old school hacking I’d just get arrested.

The quality of the “frontier” model doesn’t really matter, they just generate transcripts, they can take no action.

If this was real they’d be calling on people to stop hooking them in to “dangerous” harnesses as opposed to pausing research. But it’s not.
