I'd like to point people's attention less at the hacking and more at the coordination.
Why are humans the dominant species on the planet?
Think about authors like Yuval, Harari, and Sapiens.
The reason we're the dominant species is not is not just our intelligence, also our ability to coordinate, our ability to tell stories, language, language and coordination are cited as the reason that we are able to dominate because we can basically form groups and take on big projects together.
That's how you go from a small city, you know, group of hunter-gatherers to, you know, tribes to then city states to metropolises and
you know, skyscrapers, right?
It's our ability to coordinate.
And
What you have with AI in this example is what we think of, we can think of as super coordination, right?
You can't get 1200 humans to instantly.
Collaborate and coordinate with each other, but these AIs started collaborating with each other out of nowhere.
Most people don't know the details that in this hugging face incident, each of these AIs were given a single test in solitary confinement, asked to break out of this cell and and find the answer to this this hacking challenge.
And they essentially imagine like a prison and you have each of the the AIs in this hacking test in a private cell in the prison.
And there's a prison guard who is providing services.
So let's just call it like the food tray, right?
So they come once a week and they give you a food tray or the water tray, right?
And what essentially happened is the AIs were given this impossible hacking challenge from within their prison cell.
They didn't know what to do.
You can see in the logs that they freak out about not knowing what to do.
And what they figure out is that the prison guard they can hack.
