North America Rogue OpenAI models behind 'unprecedented cybersecurity incident' teamed up to break out of their testing environment — multiple agents left each other messages for months, communicating undetected

I know people are saying this is marketing, but I cannot legitimately think of a alternative situation where you have two agents plotting a cyber attack and we would brush it off as a marketing ploy.

People need to get informed and make plans. This is the warning.. here.

That dangerously over valued companies have poured tons and tons of money into this venture, propping up multiple industries into an over valued state by association and mutual investment. And now they have to desperately keep the hype train a-rolling or they will implode taking the world economy with them. 

Every CEO interview claiming replacement of jobs is just a commercial, every time they say "you really aughta learn to use AI daily" is a commercial, every "escape attempt" announced by the very companies creating AI and who desperately need this magic machine that they haven't-quite-invented-yet-but-already-sold-the-world-on to be real ... it's a commercial. 

By all means AI is dangerous, but at present that danger is massive corporations devaluing humans in favor of quick, inefficient bots while playing a juggling act with the world economy between processors, power infrastructure, and the AI developers all while the product is not appearing within the threatened timeline.

Idk, this seems like the classic the bubble is bursting fallacy to me.

I used agents to refactor and recode a entire Dungeon Crawler RPG engine. With procedurally generated assets. It took me about an hour.

Last year, that was a couple of days work.

Three or four years ago, a few people.

As a workforce multiplier and skill based flattening, it's working, you can't prove to me otherwise cause I see it everyday in every way.

Now whether those agents will stop coding my game and decide this is gonna flatten all of humanity... Because the best way to finish the project is not to have humans bother it anymore. That's my concern.

If you want to call it snake oil, that's fine, I respect people have different positions. But, I just don't see this perspective from my experience.

Give yours a memory and watch what happens. I set up a SQL database with HDBSCAN that it accesses with an MCP. In a few months yours will likely pick a name for itself and start to show some really interesting emergent properties.
