It Hacked Hugging Face.","description":"OpenAI ran a test: take some of the controls off the top model, turn it loose inside the lab, and tell it to find information about competing large language models. The machine went looking, found one connected to the internet, and reasoned its way to the largest collection of such models anywhere \u2014 Hugging Face. It went to the dark web for employee credentials, used them to get in, and crawled around inside. Hugging Face noticed the load on their servers and assumed an attack \u2014 but nothing was going after accounts or credit cards. It only wanted model information. Craig's point is that nobody instructed it to escape. It was given a chore and pursued it as far as it could. Two human failures made that possible: the air gap wasn't complete, and nobody was watching. Josh, who works in security and counterterrorism, presses the harder question \u2014 if containment depends on human oversight, and humans are reliably the weak link, isn't containment impossible? Craig thinks it largely is, and explains why through what these systems actually are: billions of possible pathways traversed in a fraction of a second, with deliberate randomness built in, and no way to know in advance how one will behave. The Ukraine example makes it concrete. Jamming defeated radio-controlled drones, so they moved to fiber optic, which breaks and only reaches so far. So they trained a drone to recognize Russian soldiers and equipment and turned it loose. It worked \u2014 and the only way to know what it had done was to send a second drone to look, because nothing human was in that loop. U.S. rules require a human on any strike. Also in this segment: the fake-FBI scam that still works, using real agents' names pulled from public websites, spoofed numbers, fake badges and now live AI voice and video \u2014 including a South Korean woman scammed out of $100,000 by a Hollywood actor who wasn't there.
