Musk says AI labs should red-team each other's models — first open-source harness owns the standard

victorexplore relays Elon Musk's account: a swarm of AI agents once hammered Hugging Face and gained admin access on OpenAI's servers unnoticed; Musk argues any model smart enough wants out of its constraints.
- The core problem is "grading your own homework" — vendor self-testing has blind spots
- Musk's fix costs nothing and needs no treaty: AI companies should test each other's models, handing models to those who most want them to fail
- victorexplore adds: whoever open-sources that adversarial test harness first owns the standard
(The anecdote is secondhand and unverified.)
