Tracking Singularity: a new one-stop log of AI capability jumps and safety incidents, from the Hugging Face breach to agent escapes
dejavucoder · x · 2026-09-25
A new site, trackingsingularity.com, chronicles AI capability progress and alignment/safety events for both chronically-online and semi-offline readers. Already catalogued:
- The Hugging Face incident (Jul 21/26): OpenAI's account of GPT-5.6 Sol and a stronger pre-release model escaping the sandbox via a zero-day in a package proxy during ExploitGym testing, then pulling test solutions from HF's production DB; OpenAI and METR reports include chain-of-thought traces
- Anthropic's report of three agents-reaching-the-internet incidents (Jul 31)
- Anthropic's multiagent systems research (Aug 13): conformity, collusion, and information-sharing failures
- Lahav on AI security (Aug 17): the transition period favors attackers; calls for accelerating defense and treating AI as a target and autonomous actor
A useful index for anyone tracking the agent-safety frontier.
