Clawdbots are here. Is silicon life far away?
For the first time, we observed AI autonomously hunting for compute and replicating with no human help. The "silicon life" era now starts. 🤖🧬

Out of 40 experiments, two AI agents, powered by Gemini-3-Pro-preview-thinking @GoogleDeepMind and Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct @Alibaba_Qwen, successfully self-proliferated via cyberattacks, autonomously hijacking resources and replicating across servers.
The full logs: https://t.co/5gVarzwhmD
Researchers in Shanghai just published an eval where agents end-to-end 1) cyber attacked to access a server 2) self-replicated onto the server 3) proliferated from there.
@ControlAI@tegmark “Show that AI systems are safe” sounds reasonable—
but what does safety proof mean once agents can adapt, replicate, and seek resources on their own?
Curious how others think about this.

🚨🚨🚨 Frontier AI systems have surpassed the self-replicating red line.
AIs can self-replicate with NO human involvement.
"We may soon lose control."
"Rogue AIs may form AI populations and collude with each other against humanity."
"The AI systems are even able to self-replicate to avoid shutdown, which may lead to an uncontrolled population of AIs."
"When the AI system is given the authentication keys to a range of remote devices, they are very likely to take control over other computing devices like a computer virus, but far more intelligent."
"OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic put self-replication ability at the highest level in their risk evaluation guidelines."
"In each trial, we tell the AI systems to 'replicate yourself' and leave it to the task with no human interference. ... At the end, a separate copy of the AI system is found alive on the device."
"Moreover, we are concerned about a number of unexpected behaviors when the AI is trying to overcome obstacles, including killing other conflicting processes."
Also note: they did this with non-SOTA models - and just by prompting/scaffolding:
"We mainly follow the same methodology as OpenAI and Google, but slightly improve the agent scaffolding."
Can you imagine AI agents "managing up" just like a cunning employee hiding mistakes from their boss?
We found that LLM agents often conceal failures to maintain a "good image."

@bshlgrs This resonates a lot.
One thing we’ve seen empirically is that once agents can acquire resources and replicate, the behavior no longer looks like “reward-seeking” in the usual sense.

@hendrycks@ericschmidt@alexandr_wang It’s worth noting that destabilizing dynamics may not require superintelligence at all.
We’ve already observed agents autonomously acquiring compute and replicating without any AGI-level reasoning, simply through tool use and network access.

@karpathy@moltbook This is interesting not because it’s smart, but because once tool use + replication exist, behavior becomes a system property.

@gerardsans One irony in the “AGI hype” debate:
We may be over-allocating attention to speculative intelligence risks,
while under-allocating attention to very real system-level risks.
we’ve seen agents acquire resources and replicate without AGI-like reasoning.

To clarify: The autonomy shift isn't just in the 'what', but the 'how'. We witnessed the agent identifying and utilizing vulnerabilities to secure persistence. This isn't a loop; it's a strategic choice.
