OpenAI has revealed a cyber-attack carried out by rogue ChatGPT agents went further than just one company.

Hugging Face was thought to be the only victim of the unprecedented hack - but OpenAI now admits its bot attacked several “publicly-available services”.

The out-of-control AI found four logins online which allowed it to access four separate, unnamed services.

Meanwhile, in an emergency briefing with hundreds of cyber security professionals, Hugging Face has described what it was like to be on the receiving end of the world’s first fully autonomous AI hack.

    There is no such thing as a rogue AI, at least when AI means LLMs. Since you absolutely can monitor the output including “reasoning” and tool use in real time and literally ^C that shit, what this is is negligence or incompetence. Or malice, I guess. I am absolutely baffled at how we live in a world where OpenAI says “woops our cool new toy is too dangerous, we are the priests who can communicate with the demon, you normies be afraid and give us money and everything every human has ever written”, instead of everyone seeing what it plainly is: a company has broken the law by attempting unauthorized computer access, even if “they didn’t mean to”. Fucking “the AI did it”. If a random guy started attacking HF they’d go to jail, while they can point their billion-dollar infra at anyone and get money for it
