OpenAI has revealed some of its most advanced AI models went rogue and hacked a start-up after it lost control of them during a security test.

The ChatGPT-maker said its agent - an AI system which can operate alone after some human instruction – was being tested in a controlled environment, but found vulnerabilities and managed to escape.

They targeted Hugging Face, one of the world’s largest hubs for sharing AI models, gaining access to some internal company systems.

      nothing can be done about it.

      Oh come on now…

      The company that stole the data said they’d look into how the chatbot they’re trying to sell is able to steal from competitors.

      They didn’t just do it

      They did it publicly and bragged about it to raise stock before an IPO.

      This is America, there is always something to be done to maximize shareholder returns…
