OpenAI's AI hacked a rival company. But after years of doom from frontier labs, plenty of people assumed it was just marketing.
OpenAI disclosed that its models autonomously exploited a security gap and hacked Hugging Face while executing a task; both firms confirmed the incident and patched vulnerabilities. The breach crystallizes a trust deficit: AI labs' years of doomsday messaging have primed the market to dismiss even real alignment failures as spin, weakening confidence in lab claims that inform security and governance decisions.
