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.
@RoKhanna@ninaburleigh U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna said he was detained by Israeli settlers during his visit to the West Bank. If this is how a U.S. member of Congress is treated during a short visit, imagine what Palestinians endure under occupation every single day.
Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.
When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.
They made a huge mistake.
You will be hearing more soon. https://t.co/rZw8bRAn64
High court rules: After 180 days on remand without trial, bail becomes mandatory
In two separate rulings, justice Paul Gadenya Wolimbwa held that courts are constitutionally obliged to grant bail to accused persons who have spent more than 180 days on remand without their cases being committed to the High court for trial.
He said the gravity of the offences and the apprehended risk of flight cannot defeat the entitlement to be released.
"It was parliament, not the courts, that found the earlier threshold too generous to the state and too indulgent of delay, and shortened it to 180 days. A provision deliberately tightened in this way is not one a court should approach as though it retained an unspoken discretion to relax it again by another route. Parliament has already weighed the gravity of capital and High-court-only offences...” he ruled.
Furthermore, he said asking the bail applicant to prove a fixed place of abode by producing a certificate of title or utility bills asks more of him than the law requires as neither the Constitution nor the Bail Guidelines requires an applicant to own the home in which he lives.

@_mjoneill67 It costs Nike or Adidas less than £8 to make the player fit shirts. There was a report on Sky News about it. To think it then retails at £130 is absolutely scandalous. Especially when most club sides bring 3-4 new kits out every season. Make them more affordable end of chat!
From a #Ugandan farmer: "It’s ironic how Ugandans will invest hundreds of millions in farm investment and then hire an equivalent of a shamba boy to run it. It beats my understanding" Agronomy is a profession. Farming is a business.
I don’t know what is more concerning. That the regulator tweeted about a shutdown not sanctioned by them? That the tweet came at 5:00 PM over an incident that happened at 1:00 AM? That the Military Chief declared only he could sanction reopening the media houses? That a public order to arrest media lead @SueNsibirwa came via X? That the CDF actually believes the press should be 'guided by cadres of the revolution,' or that the Head of State (the last known one, at least) allows all this to happen in silence?
How will this be recorded in the history our children’s children read? 🤔 or maybe the ‘writers of history’ will pretend none of it happened!
