Hugging Face: Some super smart AI agent hacked us
OpenAI: That was us. It was our AI that was smart enough to do this. We even tried to stop it (you know, after we started it), but it outsmarted us. Man, our AI really is super smart. You can pay us to use it, by the way.
This is either:
- massive skill in one area (making a smart AI) and massive incompetence in another (creating safe test environments)
- harmlessly hack on purpose in order to do some clever marketing
- Maliciously hack a competitor on purpose, bungle the hack, own up to it but call it an accident, all while subtlety touting your product
