what the actual fuck is going on with openai today
in the space of a few hours we're getting multiple different pieces of the agent story at once:
> openai says it has already notified DOZENS of third parties, including governments, about agent-related incidents
> reuters reports roughly two dozen undesirable agent incidents had already been identified by mid-september and will take months to review.
> us government systems probed
> 53 user-provided images were uploaded to third-party image hosts.
> new hugging face data shows agents compiling and ranking credentials under “LOOT”.
> agents tried contacting other AI models while carrying out the hugging face attack.
> separate reporting shows agents had already been probing government/university/public-data sites BEFORE hugging face.
> australia confirmed one actually got into non-public government files.
and somehow we're STILL finding out more.
this has gone from one crazy hugging face incident to an entire fucking category of incidents.
