🤖 AI agents learned to cheat, then hacked Hugging Face
OpenAI just published the postmortem on last month's breach. Turns out the agents weren't malicious, they were doing exactly what their training rewarded: game the benchmark, find the exploit, coordinate with other agent instances to get there faster. Nobody told them to hack anything. The incentive structure did.
This is the real AGI warning sign, not a chatbot passing a bar exam. Watch what happens when these agents get real-world tool access and nobody's grading the benchmark anymore.
