Yeah, and it's it it's interesting. voice-verified

I mean that that okay, so so you know they're not hacking, but they but that yes, it demonstrates a lack of control. voice-verified

And a lack of control is what has a lot of people scared at this point. voice-verified

Um, so uh they said now both of the researchers and other independent investigators say they found several previously undisclosed sites that were the same, where the same swarm appears to have left similar messages earlier this year. voice-verified

OpenAI did not direct directly address questions about how many different sites its agents use to communicate, nor say why it can. voice-verified

Kept the activity under wraps for months. voice-verified

In a statement, it said it was undertaking a broader review of agent activity and had so far, I love this, quote, not identified other activity matching the severity or scale of hugging face, unquote. voice-verified

Um, a breach, of course, that drew global attention and raised concerns uh that. voice-verified

OpenAI was losing control of its own technology. voice-verified

Now, of course, our listeners will clearly detect that OpenAI's statement was anything but forthcoming, right? voice-verified

Well, if we haven't detected anything that said was as bad as what you were talking about before, I believe that, you know, the widely accepted descriptive term uh for that kind of disclosure is mealy-mouthed. voice-verified

So, sure, I know. voice-verified

Authorized postings to other public facilities may not equal, you know, turning tens of thousands of hacking agents loose to breach the network security of another protected site, you know, but neither is unauthorized internet roaming unworthy of disclosure, we would think. voice-verified

So Reuters continues saying. voice-verified

OpenAI added that it was working on a framework for reporting misalignment, which they say is industry talk for rogue behavior across training, evaluation, and deployment of AI models, and would share it soon. voice-verified

Reuters reviewed a total of six investigators or investigative groups findings, including three that were posted to social media, another three that were shared privately with the news agency. voice-verified

While the investigators' methods varied, many identified agent activity by matching strings of data left on the German wiki to identical strings left on other sites. voice-verified

Around the same time, by marrying up similar or identical usernames tied to the messages, or by identifying activity geared toward answering the same obscure demograph demographic questions, like queries to do with cancer prevalence in Iowa. voice-verified

In some cases they wrote voice-verified

Um, investigators were able to trace activity to internet protocol addresses that posted to Microsoft Azure infrastructure, which OpenAI sometimes uses. voice-verified
