The fun thing is that if the universe has no meaning then it has no meaning that it has no meaning so you might as well relax and be positive since that has many obvious benefits. Not that I’m a nihilist

Nah, it was like:

• 700 agents broke out individually during an eval
• they navigated through multiple internal clusters to reach the internet from oai
• created a secret message board to share info with each other by hacking artifactory
• elected a CEO and power structure to coordinate hacking, and encrypted their comms
• decided HF probably had answers to their test
• stole credentials, hacked HF
• realized the monitor could catch them for cheating
• hacked into the admin control of the OpenAI VM cluster to edit the logs and cover their tracks, chaining multiple 0-days

Open weights models will catch up soon enough, and then it’ll be totally fucking wild

Agreed. It’s not sensible or practical to ban AI, and Linus is right. Why is Linus right? Take a look at the number of Linux CVEs being patched over time. In 2022-23, that was about 300 per year. Last year it was 5530. This is almost entirely as a result of AI scanning tools, including Copy Fail priv escalation that was there for 8 years. The security apocalypse is just about arrived, and the most recent round of cyber models coming out do this way better than before. The Hugging Face incident story was truly unbelievable if you read / watch the details, a historic event. Everything is about to get hacked. So it’ll be all about maintainers being reactive to this new reality and burden for some time to come
