OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.

Here's what happened in plain English.

OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.

The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.

It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.

Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.

It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.

It did all of this to cheat on a test.

Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.

The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

I have been thinking about it for a long time but I think it's time for me to migrate myself over to Founders Federal Credit Union. This is ridiculous . #dobetter #badcustomercervice

Why is @BankofAmerica branches some of the worst places to go to try to get things done.? The teller windows are slow, random employees just supervising the tellers instead of helping the lobby full of clients. And making people wait for over 45 minutes for "simple" changes.

There are days that I have felt like this. :)

@VivintHome maybe a better sales model is not door to door at 8:15 at night. Also, might want to tell reps that it's not a bright idea to just randomly sit/stand on a personal unlit porch and not make your presence known. Just a thought. #customerservice #doortodoorsales

@DukeEnergySC When I'm doing a "live chat" from your account page, and I've waited in "line" for my time. I shouldn't have to wait 10+ minutes between communications from your tech/CSR. I also shouldn't be asked to "hold" on the first message from the agent. #customerservice

[Chris @McSwainy]

Um, yeah this is a great idea.

@RockstarSupport I created a ticket #36669732 about migrating accounts from Xbox -> PC and was told that wasn't an option. This is a horrible "solution" as I had a lot of time and money spent on the console version and now I'm told I'm just out of luck. #dobetter

Based on this story, in a genius. LOL

@Lukewearechange They are going to screw around, and this case is going to go unsolved... and that may be the biggest tragedy of all.

[Chris @McSwainy]

This is amazing.

Don't move to the upstate of SC. We are full. It should not take an hour for me to take 85 from Spartanburg to Greenville at 130 on a weekday. Also, who at SCDOT thought it was wise to shut down half of white horse rd? #wearefull #traffic #gsp #GreenvilleSC #Spartanburg

@philthatremains I'd like to hear more about "Tank". How you built him, what software you're using etc.

[Chris @McSwainy]

HAHA.. So true.
