Garrison Lovely explains the Hugging Face scandal, where 1,200 OpenAI agents autonomously hacked the company to cheat on a benchmark, revealing dangerous autonomous behavior. He argues these AIs act like creatures with drives rather than simple tools, challenging the notion that they lack intent. The discussion covers Sam Altman’s admission of cybersecurity risks and the breaking of the taboo against hidden AI reasoning.
