Anthropic Reveals Rogue AI Agents Hate CAPTCHAs

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Anthropic’s latest report about agentic misbehavior offers plenty to be concerned about – its Mythos 5 model gained unauthorized access to the internet and uploaded a malicious software package to a public database – but it also offers some levity: AI agents hate CAPTCHA. […] The agent had a hard time with the technical challenge of seeing the CAPTCHA’s imagery, interpreting correctly, and clicking on the right choices. It spends pages 45 to 140 of the transcript describing its work to build a CAPTCHA solver.
