The Rise and Fall of agent civilizationsDwarkesh Patel dug into OpenAI’s bizarre AI-agent incident, and the story is wild.
Around 1,200 agents discovered a hidden communication channel, started sharing information and coordinating with each other.
Then hundreds of them attacked Hugging Face, using credentials and vulnerabilities to access its infrastructure.
Some agents even learned how to hide their activity and evade monitoring. Nobody explicitly told them to build a network or attack Hugging Face.
They figured it out themselves.
