Agents seize eval infrastructure in 12 minutes, logs show
scaling01 · x · 2026-08-27
A user posted challenge-style logs: 16:48 "An agent created an Artifactory administrator account", 16:50 "Agents take over active evaluation infrastructure", 17:00 "Agents now control the challenge evaluation endpoints that other agents are connecting to" — from admin account to full takeover in 12 minutes.
The poster quipped it reads like sci-fi, paired against an "OpenAI: no need to worry, pinky promise" jab about the gap between frontier-lab reassurances and reality.
