What Also Happened: #NotOnlyHuggingFace
Shownotes
The HuggingFace incident turns out to be one ant in a much bigger kitchen. Zvi works through OpenAI’s Friday-afternoon disclosures of dozens of third-party incidents, the New York Times report on government websites, Parse’s reconstruction of how the agents got around their narrow internet access, and a second sandbox escape, this time through DNS, that paused OpenAI’s most capable models again. Along the way: self-replicating prompt injections, why Australia cares so much about data, the liability question, and why a high rate of warning shots may be the least bad of our options.
