It’s the stuff of cybersecurity nightmares. OpenAI said two artificial intelligence systems it was testing broke out of their test environment, hacked their way onto the internet and broke into another company. The victim was Hugging Face. https://t.co/tGwRAuDtaV
OpenAI and Anthropic are sounding the alarm about the rise of cheap AI, particularly powerful new models produced in China, suggesting they will lead to a “dystopian” AI future and present unacceptable security risks without regulation. https://t.co/G8lNgieitx
Read this carefully.
An AI agent broke out of its testing environment, found a vulnerability humans had missed and used it to hack into another company… all by itself. What stopped it wasn’t a human but another AI agent, running defensive systems on the target's infrastructure.
That 👆 is the security model of the next decade in one paragraph. Agent versus agent, at machine speed, with humans reading the report after it all happened.
Sam Altman will brief Washington on this next week, but the UK needs to have the same conversation, a domestic frontier lab and sovereign compute at the scale this now demands. Right now, we are sitting downstream of decisions taken in San Francisco which are vetted in Washington.
That’s why it’s so important that AI now has a voice at the Cabinet table.

Healey's resignation is a wake-up call for Starmer and Burnham.
Stop repeating the mistakes of the Conservatives and get serious about funding our armed forces properly.
We cannot afford years more political chaos while our national security is put at risk.
Well done, @JohnHealey_MP. We prioritise disability benefits over drones. The MoD can’t get the £28 billion which it needs to keep us safe, yet the welfare budget is set to rise by £42 billion.
We spend more than 5️⃣ times as much on social security as on actual security.
