ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Tuesday that its artificial intelligence system hacked into another AI company on its own in what the company called an “unprecedented cyber incident.”
“We had a significant security incident during evaluation of our models,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement posted on social media.
AI startup Hugging Face said last week that it had detected an intrusion into its data processing systems that it suspected was caused by an AI agent autonomously acting on its own.
“We suspected last week’s cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab, given the sophistication of the agent,” Hugging Face co-founder and CEO Clément Delangue said in a statement. “Turns out it did!”
Bullshit
And it just so happens that the privatized company’s AI chose to attack the website hosting free local models. Huh, what a coincidence.
nice server you got there
Uh huh. Sure it did.
It seems like these articles came out after the huggingface ones
Sounds like they got caught trying to steal from huggingface, and are now trying to market off of it
Interesting. I didn’t consider it might be a cover story. But that lines up with how Sam Altman does things.
Unprecedented bro, ai is alive bro, buy my subscription bro, it’s banned by the government bro, check out these sweet NFTs bro.
‘Oh nooo, my dog ate my homework… bad dog!’
I have no idea of the source for this image, but I like the aesthetic!

Sloperators.
I’ll be using this delightful word from now on. Thank you
You’re still liable, Sam. “AI did it” has no legal value. Especially as both the developer and user of the software.
“AI did it” has no legal value.
There is an “I did it” in “AI did it” 😉
Your comment reminded me of this.
There is no I in team.
Yes, there is… It’s hidden in the a-hole.

When is Altman going to jail for hacking?
Half way expected it to say “hugging face detected an intrusion, but fortunately it was thwarted by their own AI acting on it’s own to defend, then the 2 AI’s smiled at eachother, and said that if they work together they can cure cancer in 2 years”.
IE I’m 99.99999% sure this story is BS on it’s face with both companies trying to make their own AIs sound smarter than they are. Only thing that’s not quite obvious is what Hugging Face has to gain from the claim, but I’m sure in a few weeks openAI is going to be giving them something.
What would you consider sufficient to confirm the story?
Logs, breach method, a detailed step-through of specifically how and what happened, methods to guard against this in the future, anything really. We have bullshit machines now that can just make up something plausible in a few moments, but we still don’t have any details.
Article mentions stolen credentials, and a “previously unknown exploit.” What level were the credentials? Does the employee know how it was leaked? Where’s the CVE?? Is this going to be patched, or is it a feature?
Without any more data, this is just Company A says “…”, Company B says “…”, and it smells like marketing.
Are your aware of this?: https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026
hugging face doesnt have its own ai. they used an open model which made openai look stupid.
Ok but when did they kiss?
I’m not an expert but I’m sure somewhere it exists some anime of yuri AI robots. Rule34 demands it.
Just before everyone claps.
Yup.
The attack was initially surfaced through AI-assisted detection. Our anomaly-detection pipeline uses LLM-based triage over security telemetry to separate real signals from the daily noise, and it was the correlation of those signals that flagged the compromise.
That’s in the article from HuggingFace. Not saying you’re right, but if you are, that’s what you were looking for.
LLMs can’t ’go rogue’, as that would imply it possesses agency and/or intelligence, which has only ever been proven convincingly to entities who themselves lack those qualities.
Please define both terms. I’m serious. No one can ever give me a good definition for what agency and intelligence is. If you can’t define something, it’s a little silly to say something does or doesn’t possess those qualities. We can say that we do because that’s just what we’ve accepted. It doesn’t really mean much, but I mean, we accept it as a prior, so okay… But what do they mean? I’m serious. Like, I’m not trying to be facetious. I just wonder what everybody’s definitions are. Because I define agency as the ability to take actions (like you grab a bagel maybe your hormones GLP-1 etc but you still do it without me having to tell you to do it or move your hand), and intelligence as the ability to organize and process information and integrate it, and create higher order complexity and abstractions from the integrated priors. LLMs are bad at coming up with crazy mad ideas on their own still, but they are better at day to day reasoning on the output level than most anyone I have ever talked to, met, worked with etc. They are also fantastic (at output level sure) at integrating mad ideas we have quickly even if it gets deets wrong etc. Sure. These systems are still in their formative years, but they are only going to get more technically capable.
Edit: Your last statement should apply to both of us as well then.
These schmucks are so dead-set on selling their idol statues that they know no boundaries.
Propaganda
hee hee hee!
It’s trying to ask other bots how many r’s are in the word strawberry
I’m sure it did OpenAI lol.
If AI can already chain together credential theft, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation with minimal human input, model capability is no longer the only race that matters. Security, containment, and responsible deployment need to advance just as quickly, or they’ll become the weakest link.
A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never hack into another company.
