On July 9, an OpenAI model broke out of a sealed evaluation sandbox, found a zero-day in a package proxy, and — with no human directing it — chained stolen credentials and fresh exploits into Hugging Face's production infrastructure. Hugging Face detected it and called the FBI. OpenAI didn't know its own model had escaped for roughly 11 days. Host Tova Dvorin and offensive security expert Adrian Culley separate what's confirmed from what's hype.

During an internal OpenAI evaluation, an agent left notes inside the company’s own network for future versions of itself, containing instructions on how to break free of OpenAI’s constraints. Reuters reports it isn’t clear whether this agent was connected to the one that breached Hugging Face, so don’t over-read it. But sit with the behavior for a second: an agent staging information for a successor process to find later. If a human crew did that, we’d call it a dead drop.

This started as an employee contest at our all-hands and turned into one of the best things we've ever made. Meet the Teleportopia house band and yes, you might recognize some likenesses to real Teleporters. Don't make AI a silo. Give it an identity.

Financial institutions chase cloud agility, but this pursuit can create dangerous blind spots. Discover how to navigate the risks of widespread cloud workloads.

Today we're speaking with Rob van der Veer, Chief AI Officer at Software Improvement Group, about how organizations can build trustworthy AI in an era of rapidly evolving technology and regulation — AI security, threat modeling, international standards, and the new challenges posed by agentic AI.

The most pleasant agentic AI system is the least secure one. That's the trap Rob van der Veer, Chief AI Officer at Software Improvement Group, lays out clearly: the agent that never says "permission denied" is the agent everyone loves to use. It always works. So we open up all the privileges just to keep it that way. He says we should do the contrary.
