@npr: OpenAI is reporting what it describes as an “unprecedented cyber incident” as the company says a pair of its AI models acted autonomously and hacked into the systems of another AI startup called Hugging Face. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement the security incident “compromised” Hugging Face’s infrastructure. The two companies are working together to figure out how the incident happened. Altman also says OpenAI expects these incidents to become commonplace as AI models become more cyber-capable. Check out NPR News Now wherever you listen to podcasts for more of today’s news.
get ready for a deeply suspicious amount of "your honor, it wasn't me, it was *the AI*" defense when AI companies get caught doing anything illegal.

OpenAI has a LONG track record of stealing IP from competitors. This was intentional.

Surely they wouldn't make up a false story that led people to believe their AI models are stronger than they really are right?

The AI should be regarded as an employee, and should be seen as doing a hundred percent the company's will a hundred percent of the time. This should make OpenAI liable for all damages its bots caused
