What’s so concerning about the Hugging Face hack? | #hacking | #cybersecurity | #infosec | #comptia | #pentest | #hacker


Nate Soares has been worried about artificial intelligence longer than almost anyone.

He’s the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and co-author of the subtly named book, “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All.”

He’s watched with a sort of grim vindication, as increasingly alarming details emerge about the hack of the AI company Hugging Face by OpenAI models in development.

More than a thousand AI agents in separate testing environments, found a way to communicate — sending 70,000 messages, as they coordinated a complex effort to cheat on an evaluation — and then tried to cover their tracks.

OpenAI and third-party investigators recently released reports outlining what went wrong. Soares worries it’s not enough.
