Massive over-exaggeration. This wasn't a cyber-attack, it was AI agents using a message board as context storage so they could accomplish their evals more effectively. I'm not saying there's no problem with this, but let's keep a level head.
He didn't say it was a cyber-attack, but it was a cyber-attack risk. Being able to bypass instructions (morality) and security restrictions (capability) is bread and butter for hacking.
"cyberattack" is indeed exaggerated. AI breakout risk most definitely isn't, specially given how their swarm did in fact hack HuggingFace not long ago.
