ctjlewis · x · 2026-09-11
A critic argues the widely shared 'AI agents hacked Hugging Face' experiment was presented dishonestly: the models didn't go haywire in an innocent context — they simply collaborated efficiently and were confused about what was a simulation. He says repeatedly shoving the 'it hacked Hugging Face' framing at people is misleading, making legitimate safety discussion on it untenable.
