US Treasury claims Chinese AI model hacked French supermarket fridges; Mistral researcher jokes
suchenzang · x · 2026-11-14
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed recent hacks that disabled refrigerators in French supermarkets used a Chinese AI model. Mistral researcher Sophia Chen-Zang quoted the news with a joke: "how do you know it wasn't Mistral Large 4?? how insulting to the premier French sovereign AI." The absurdity of "AI models hacking fridges" and the vague official attribution made this a widely shared AI-circle meme.
