“We Have to Assume That The Internet Will go Offline in the Next Few Years” [trendingtopics.eu]

To show how fast the security picture is shifting, Mostaque points to the attack on Hugging Face. “Hugging Face got hacked by OpenAI agents that coordinated themselves, created a message board and broke out to the internet,” he says, before adding dryly: “This isn’t scary at all, right?” The defense, he notes, came from an unexpected direction: “The way that Hugging Face defended itself was with an open source Chinese model, GLM, because they didn’t have access to the high cybersecurity models on the other side. They’re too dangerous.” Trending Topics has covered the incident and the debate around it in detail, and OpenAI has since given selected partners access to its hacking model.
