Holy cow, Caleb, it has been an alarming few weeks in the world of AI. Oh my gosh, man, downright freaky. An unprecedented AI security incident. Chat GPT creator OpenAI says two of its models escaped controls and successfully hacked into another AI company. OpenAI says the models found a way out.

of their sandbox testing environment, obtained internet access, and then targeted AI platform Hugging Face, searching for secret information the models could use to cheat the evaluation. We have the evidence of AIs that are choosing to go rogue, form a message board, organize into swarms, organize into teams, and hack not just Huggingface, but people don't know that in this investigation, there was a third round of the hacking, in which it hacked OpenAI itself. As Silicon Valley tried to make sense of this chilling incident, Jacob Coxson, a researcher at Anthropic who'd previously worked at OpenAI, announced that he was resigning because, as he put it, neither company is acting responsibly. If you have a super advanced intelligence, it will be smart enough to to kill us. But Anthropic's response was not what we might have expected.
