OpenAI says its AI technology acted on its own in an 'unprecedented' hack of another company (apnews.com)

ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Tuesday that its artificial intelligence system hacked into another AI company on its own in what the company called an “unprecedented cyber incident.”

“We had a significant security incident during evaluation of our models,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement posted on social media.

AI startup Hugging Face said last week that it had detected an intrusion into its data processing systems that it suspected was caused by an AI agent autonomously acting on its own.

“We suspected last week’s cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab, given the sophistication of the agent,” Hugging Face co-founder and CEO Clément Delangue said in a statement. “Turns out it did!”

Half way expected it to say "hugging face detected an intrusion, but fortunately it was thwarted by their own AI acting on it's own to defend, then the 2 AI's smiled at eachother, and said that if they work together they can cure cancer in 2 years".

IE I'm 99.99999% sure this story is BS on it's face with both companies trying to make their own AIs sound smarter than they are. Only thing that's not quite obvious is what Hugging Face has to gain from the claim, but I'm sure in a few weeks openAI is going to be giving them something.

Is that before or after one of them is revealed to be Albert Einstein?
