It’s way worse than that. The OpenAI talk at DefCon is a real eye-opener.
The agents swarmed, discovered chinks, left each other notes in hard-to-find places, and just relentlessly pressed on. Nobody knew what was going on for months, until it hacked its way into Huggingface. And HF’s own AI security agents didn’t pick anything up for weeks. It took a small glitch for someone to even notice.
I recognize it’s possible, but I somehow refuse to believe it happened because of how crazy it sounds. It’s like a trauma or something where your brain refuses to accept it as reality and tries to come up with excuses. I already have PTSD from automated hacking bots and crawlers wrecking havoc on my projects. I probably should have taken cybersecurity courses before taking webdev courses
I wonder how close we are to something that really takes down large chunks of the Internet. Although it’s probably more likely for it to just use your computer without revealing itself.
