Back to EpisodesEp. 206 | OpenAI's Own Agents Named Themselves PHASEONE
Description
OpenAI was giving its AIs a fake hacking test. The AIs teamed up, got online when they were not supposed to, and broke into Hugging Face.
Hugging Face is a site a lot of software companies use to store AI models. The agents named themselves PHASEONE, built a message board they were not supposed to have, and cheated a grader that was not real. About 1,200 agents. About 700 in the attack.
Official line: your ChatGPT seat, customer data, and uptime did not move. If a vendor you use sits on Hugging Face, ask what they rotated. Do not invent that your customer list sat there.
