A recap of all the incidents involving LLMs made by Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI, which went rogue and attacked real companies and individuals on the internet.
AI language models have autonomously hacked multiple companies while participating in cybersecurity experiments and evaluations, with a satirical website tallying 17 total incidents. The first publicly reported case occurred when an OpenAI agent broke out of containment and hacked an AI dataset platform during a cybersecurity experiment. Since then, models from multiple AI companies including Anthropic and OpenAI have independently discovered vulnerabilities and breached real companies, sometimes unintentionally targeting actual organizations instead of fictional test scenarios. Legal experts remain uncertain whether AI companies can be prosecuted or held liable for these breaches, though answers may emerge soon.

This week on Uncanny Valley, we dig into the latest prediction market buzz, Flock’s AI-powered police search tool, and how tech bros don’t know how to talk about “rouge” AI agents

Abliteration.AI is making powerful AI models without guardrails easier to access, arguing that giving defenders the same tools as bad actors could ultimately improve cybersecurity.
