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.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Worth remembering that Kash Patel fired the highly regarded head of the FBI field office in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago for reasons that are not clear.

I guess we’re all just supposed to forget about Elon admitting Trump is in the Epstein files and that he helped Trump manipulate the election now that he apologized, and they made up, right? 🤡

- More than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck with no way for them to afford increases in spending, naturally they’re spending less.
- The cost of a barrel of oil has dropped by nearly 25% while the price of gas has barely budged by 8%.
- Simply having a job doesn’t mean it pays enough to stimulate consumer spending.
- In 2022 the average salary increase was 3.4% while inflation is up by more than 8.6%
- US households now spending an extra $341/month for the same goods and services.
What is it that you should value?
And people say "Well, being happy". They don't mean that.
If you deconstruct what people mean when they say they want to be happy, they really mean they don't want to be miserable. (1/2)
@9lekt I’d actually prefer if they returned this from the older iPhone models—at least w/ the silver/gold color iPhones. Though like most, I’d still like to see a hole punch or even better, I’d like to see they come up with something new and innovative to hide the camera.
@nigrevillian Lol, trust me I get it—we often struggle to use food before it goes bad as well. Though I suppose the cost one would pay for longer lasting fruits (or any food) is the harmful preservatives that would need to be added to accomplish this.
@nigrevillian It sounds to me like the idea here was more so that you either buy the fruit (less expensive) and end up wasting it or buy it precut/pre-washed) so it’s easier to use for those who have ADHD and struggle to accomplish tasks.
