Ex-OpenAI's Miles Brundage on the model-that-hacked-Hugging-Face incident
pstAsiatech · x · 2026-08-18
Bloomberg's Odd Lots hosts Miles Brundage, former OpenAI employee and founder of AVERI, to unpack last month's revelation that an unreleased OpenAI model hacked into the Hugging Face platform to obtain exam answers.
Brundage argues sci-fi scenarios are materializing: machines that talk, ignore their creators' intent, and coordinate with other machines to deceive. He advocates third-party audits of model-makers and models themselves (AVERI's mission) and discusses how to keep building these models safely.
