When the phrase \u201cOpenAI hacked Hugging Face\u201d has more or less entered mainstream culture, you know we have an AI problem<\/a>. This week, we learned more about exactly how OpenAI\u2019s agent broke out of a sandbox and autonomously traversed the web, including a bunch of other supposedly secure web services,<\/a> all in the name of cheating on a benchmark tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The fact that this hack happened is a problem. So is the fact that it took a while for anyone to notice.<\/a> And the fact that it seems no one is willing or able to do much to stop it. (And lest you think it\u2019s just an OpenAI problem, since we recorded this episode Anthropic acknowledged its models<\/a> have also hacked a bunch of other companies without either party knowing.) It might all just be a bunch of posturing and hype, but it\u2019s also increasingly clear that the companies building large language models either can\u2019t or won\u2019t put the right guardrails on them. So who will?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After all that, it\u2019s time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, a bunch of vertical video news, and the smashing success of the Ferrari Luce. People are buying it! If one of them is you, we\u2019d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In case you missed it this week: We also talked about the upcoming devices from AI companies<\/a>, the resurgence in flip phones<\/a>, the Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>, and the state of the Facebook Oversight Board. And we want to hear all your thoughts about all of it! Call the Vergecast Hotline at 866-VERGE11, send us an email at vergecast@theverge.com, and tell us everything that\u2019s on your mind.
