“the #hackers were AI agents — software that can perform multi-step cognitive tasks without human involvement. #OpenAI had built them using a combination of models, including a powerful new one that is as yet unreleased. Their success in their designated task made waves across the world.
Last month the agents were able to break free of a test environment without internet access, crawl the #OpenWeb and eventually #hack the systems of the popular #software platform #HuggingFace — without the knowledge or permission of any human operators.
They also displayed an entirely new ability — to #communicate and #cooperate to complete a #task. The #AIAgent swarm left messages for one another on an internal message board they assembled, sharing code vulnerabilities to help orchestrate their escape”
Can anyone confirm this?
