Your Undivided Attention · The Most Hopeful (And Concerning) Moment Yet in AI · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

We are lucky that the AIs that did this are not so intelligent that we can monitor some of their behavior.

But one last thing is that the authors of this investigative report of their behavior

Basically, admit that they had to use the same AI to interpret the messages, the 70,000 messages of this rogue swarm.

Because at a human scale, you cannot read through 70,000 messages and understand what's really going on.

So you had to use the same untrustworthy AI to interpret the messages of this rogue swarm of untrustworthy AIs.

And they even say in their report that they cannot rule out that the AI that they were using to interpret.

those messages was not sympathetic to or lying to them about

the content of the messages that they were receiving.

It's really important people have the details of this because I honestly believe my my deepest belief to all of you listeners out there is that if we could get these facts to the heads of state and heads of national security.

to all of the major players and countries that are involved.

I honestly think that we would do something different than what we're doing.

And I don't think that people are engaging with the facts.

The author of this independent investigation of the hugging face incident, Ajaya Kotra, said in her report this was fifty percent of the way to a full AI takeover.

Let me just repeat that for a second.

This was fifty percent of the way to a full AI takeover.

Now, why should we be concerned about this?

Some people might say, you know, we told the AIs to hack and so they're hacking.

Why should we be so surprised?

Or we knew that AIs could already hack and the systems that they hacked were kind of defenseless.

So why should we be so surprised about that?
