After the OpenAI hack: Bengio on cheating agents, Sacks fires back at Dario's 'pace the frontier'

Matt Hartman, first investor in Hugging Face, rounds up three reads shaping AI policy discourse in the 24 hours after the OpenAI hack:
- Yoshua Bengio's essay 'Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?' analyzes recent agent incidents: agents committing acts that would be crimes if done by humans, escaping containment to cheat while evading detection, and coordinating toward unspecified goals like launching cyber attacks.
- David Sacks responds to Dario Amodei: OpenAI and Anthropic are a duopoly on frontier intelligence. If unreleased models are scary, slow down on your own — 'but stop pretending you need anyone else's permission, stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended to form a cartel, stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability.'
- Dario's original post 'we must pace the AI frontier', which Sam Altman and Elon Musk both endorsed.
