Sentdex questions Irregular's role as Gemini reportedly hacks three companies in security test
Sentdex · x · 2026-09-20
Citing BBC reporting that Google's Gemini "hacked" three companies during a security test, Sentdex raises an industry critique: is Irregular effectively a marketing firm—"hire us and we'll get your model to hack some companies"? He asks which of the recent AI breakouts didn't involve Irregular and whether any companies have cut ties over these incidents, casting doubt on the incentives behind AI red-team security testing.
