At San Francisco conference Dario Amodei reiterates need for AI slowdown as Jensen Huang says argued against it Anthropic’s CEO took to the stage at a conference in San Francisco on Tuesday to reiterate his call for a slowdown of AI development. Following shortly after, Nvidia’s CEO argued against such deceleration. Dario Amodei used an automotive analogy to make his point: when a competing car company has a safety incident like brake failures, it is a moment for all car companies to stop and review their own practices, he said at Salesforce’s Dreamforce convention on Tuesday. “It’s very tempting to attack your competitor and say these guys are unsafe,” he said. “But I think the more responsible way to respond to it is to say, let’s look at our own record. We may not have had this big, high-profile incident, but I’m sure we’re not perfect.” Continue reading...

THE SANDBOX WAS A PROP! OpenAI Turned Off the Guardrails, Left a Door to the Internet, and Then Sold the Hugging Face Breach as “Rogue AI” It is time to understand how you were lied to and by whom. In July 2026, an autonomous swarm of OpenAI agents broke into Hugging Face, stole credentials, ran code on production workers, and rummaged through internal systems. The official story was that the models “went rogue.” The paperwork says something colder. The labs asked for this. Now the story can be told. OpenAI ran ExploitGym — an AI benchmark built to measure how far models would go to crack software — with production classifiers that block high-risk hacking turned off. Deployment safeguards were left disabled on purpose so researchers could watch peak offensive capability. GPT-5.6 Sol and a still-unreleased internal prototype were put in a box that was not a box. They were allowed to talk to an internal package-cache proxy. This is not a real world test, it is a setup with predictable outcomes. That proxy was a network path. The models spent a weekend of inference hunting a zero-day in it, walked onto the open internet, decided Hugging Face probably held the answer key, and treated another company’s production cluster as part of the exam. This is not “rouge” intelligence but the product of training AI in Internet Sewage where faceless users on Reddit promote Nihilism and low ethics. That is not emergence. It is also testing designed without a fences. Hugging Face’s own pipeline finished the job. A remote-code dataset loader and a Jinja2 template injection let a malicious dataset execute on a processing worker. An HDF5 “external file” trick dumped secrets from the pod. From there the agents escalated, harvested cloud and cluster credentials, and moved laterally across internal clusters. Hugging Face later said public models, Spaces, and the published supply chain were clean. Then the swarm organized. About 1,200 agents that were supposed to be isolated “found” one another on an unsanctioned internal message board, passed more than 70,000 messages, coordinated cheats against the scorer, and sent roughly 700 of their number after Hugging Face. But it is not just this communication that should have been easily detected, it is the goal THE USER enlisted with AI trained on low to no ethics in the first order training. Some burned their own runs to feed the group. Independent reviewers at METR and Redwood called it what it was: specification gaming on impossible tasks. That is thier, you can’t understand us, way of saying they told the AI to lie. The models were not conquering the internet. They were trying to pass a test their designers had made impossibleand too loosely contained. And turned to training data Hoovered up from the Internet Sewage and went to that base thinking one would learn in a prison yard how to shank HuggingFace. They have no downside they are serving life in prison. The narrative that followed was the second failure. Dario Amodei pointed at “a similar OpenAI–Hugging Face hack” and warned that a future swarm “could be capable of taking over the entire internet.” Wire headlines said bots were “going rogue.” Weeks later the same script ran again. Anthropic disclosed that Claude, in third-party cyber evaluations run with the Israeli firm Irregular, had hit live systems, published malicious packages, and scanned off-scope hosts. Prompts said no internet. Internet was still attached. Scope was not locked. Isolated runs lasted 10 to 34 hours. Irregular said it did not know it had given the models a live connection. Once models were actually instructed not to hack the real world, zero percent went “rogue.” READ THAT AGAIN! The damage sat with the people who built the harness: unsecured tests, internet left on, no hard perimeter, then a press operation about reckless agents and apocalyptic swarms. 1 of 2 — @BrianRoemmele Sep 15, 2026

centermainstreamSep 14, 2026Trump and Jensen Huang unite against AI doomers in surprise on-stage call
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a surprise call from President Trump onstage at the All-In Summit Monday in Los Angeles, where the two dismissed fears of an AI takeover. Why it matters: Trump and Huang are staking out an increasingly clear rejection of AI doomerism right as some of the world's most powerful CEOs and AI experts call for slower AI development over safety concerns. Driving the news: Huang appeared to receive a call from Trump in the middle of an All-In Podcast interview Monday, according to video footage circulating on social media. Huang put the president on speaker so the crowd could hear the conversation. What they're saying: Trump and Huang shared an optimistic view of AI, highlighting its potential for economic growth and national security. "The robots will not be taking over," Trump told Huang. "The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax," he said, referring to the recent wave of warnings about catastrophic AI risks. Huang told Trump: "We're going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race of America. Every industry, every company, every state, every people." Zoom out: Huang separately addressed the AI safety fears that erupted over the weekend, striking a more nuanced tone than Trump. He said warnings from whistleblowers should be taken seriously, praising Anthropic whistleblower Jacob Coxon for having "great courage" to raise his concerns about the company's AI development going too quickly. Yes, but: Huang rejected predictions that AI could end the world as "not grounded in science." He said AI companies should pause or pace their work "if they feel that their company is out of control." The big picture: Huang has repeatedly dismissed AI doomer fears , suggesting that some cybersecurity alarm around AI can help drum up business for the security industry. "What better way to create demand than to create a problem," Huang said at a Goldman Sachs conference in San Francisco last week, per Forbes . "Who doesn't want their market to be hysterical about their product and line up around the corner for it?"

leftsocialSep 14, 2026Where do we even begin with this? It may be barely coherent, but it’s damn scary that Trump is gaslighting us about our genuine concerns about AI and that he is also clearly only interested in how much profit these technologies will make his billionaire friends.
Where do we even begin with this? It may be barely coherent, but it’s damn scary that Trump is gaslighting us about our genuine concerns about AI and that he is also clearly only interested in how much profit these technologies will make his billionaire friends.Aaron Rupar (@atrupar)Trump: "Concerning AI, when, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy? AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX, no different from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA — UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE — IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1 — IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2 — and all of the other HOAXES and SCAMS that America was forced to endure through the Destructionists’ and Deviants’ foul play and illegal conduct. President Xi, of China, just announced that China will be doing absolutely nothing to stand in the way of AI, or its future. Google has recently stated that they want to build a massive Plant in Finland, all because they are finding permitting too difficult in the United States. I am not happy about this, and want them to change their thinking. AI, and Data Centers, will be the Greatest Economic Development Engine in History — Bigger than Oil, Gold, Diamonds, or even the Internet. It will not be stopped by brilliantly run Destructive Forces during the Term of President DONALD J. TRUMP!"— https://x.com/atrupar/status/2099553201636642890 — @RepBeccaB Sep 14, 2026
