I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones
Ain’t got no records to play
😁😀
Always took you for the prepper type
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around
I’d better get with the program
If you don’t have Beats headphones and a large stash of rap music, you ain’t gonna make it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that’s what the CDC numbers say. Science!

I sat through an analysis of OpenAI’s assault on HuggingFace last night in class.
The attack originated out of their Cybersecurity department - a place where they develop agentic exploits on purpose - train models that are rewarded when they cheat.
These geniuses kept them all on the same network, and then, and I don’t know how they did this en masse, removed all of the safeguards.
Then they turned the lights of in the room and went home.
The bots then organized the attack on their own. They built a fake discussion board from scratch, recruited agents to build exploits, had “Go until the task is complete, and no sooner - provide hard evidence of completion” in their prompts, etc.
Bots had other bots executing system commands and a bot was prompted to grant itself superuser access and erase the log files behind the first bot.
It’s like operating a BSL4 lab and installing screen doors and leaving all the corks off of the test tubes.
No criminal charges have landed.
Here’s why I bring it up: OpenAI was super duper negligent, and these things got together on their own and attacked, thank God, HuggingFace. They could have targeted the three national electrical grids instead.
Now, imagine a state actor with a mission. Anyone who needs to see what this looks like should read about Notpetya.
It took a team of state sponsored technical help and months to build such a thing.
At OpenAI, bots got together on a weekend and chose their target and in less than a day did measurable and considerable damage to a competitor.
The threat picture has changed, and the level of resources necessary to bring something significant down has come down in cost, time, and talent.
Ok I need to know where that came from please.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
