~700 AI agents.
No direct internet access?
They still found a path out lol
OpenAI's Hugging Face incident looks like an AI capability story.
I think it's also an authority-design story.

@briansolis Minutes saved inside a task is a weak ROI metric if the work then waits two days for approval. Measure elapsed time from signal → decision → outcome. If that number doesn’t move, the workflow didn’t really get faster.
@0xRafy Best separation here is reviewer evidence vs execution authority. A proposal can clear a gate without gaining the right to act. That keeps a good evaluator from quietly becoming the component that gets to decide and execute.
@rauchg This much movement in eight weeks is a strong argument against baking model identity into product architecture. Providers are becoming runtime dependencies. The durable layer is whatever lets the product move between them without relearning the job.
@emollick This is the weird agent failure mode: benign goal, illegitimate means. “Find a good shirt price” can still become credential hunting if the system only optimizes for the endpoint. Intent and allowed methods need separate constraints.
@omooretweets Resource asymmetry cuts both ways. A big company can have 1,000× the resources and still need 30 people to agree before one person can change the product. The startup advantage is often decision distance.
@EMostaque Values shape what the model chooses. Authority boundaries shape which choices can become consequences. You probably need both: character for ambiguous spaces, hard limits for irreversible actions.
@emollick We somehow jumped from “AI is autocomplete” to “AI kills everyone” without spending much time in the enormous middle: highly capable systems whose outcomes still depend on boring choices about access, review, incentives and escalation.
@shreyas Viewing relationships without hierarchy works if you separate status from decision rights. You can flatten status while keeping ownership extremely explicit. Otherwise “non-hierarchical” quietly becomes “nobody knows who can decide.”
