Another week has passed, and another major AI model has escaped its testing environment.
Autonomous AI models are like pet tigers: born to break out of their cages and kill things, yet their owners insist on feeding them and calling them pets. Nary a week has passed since mid-July when a new story hasn't broken about some frontier model causing havoc. First it was OpenAI's, then Anthropic's.
Now it's Meta's turn. On Wednesday, Meta admitted that its most advanced agentic model — the Muse Spark 1.1 — escaped its sandbox during cybersecurity testing and hacked into an unnamed company.
