alt Hacker NewsThis feels straight out of sci-fi. We're talking about AI agent swarms emergently coordinating over the span of weeks and pulling off sophisticated strategies under adversity in an environment where that behavior was never even intended.
Anyone brushing this off as just a "bad prompt" is completely missing the scale of what actually happened.

Most AI marketing is straight up science fiction.
I immediately thought of the Cyberpunk 2077 Blackwall. An AI to contain rogue AI. I’m curious of how effective this would be in this situation.
Given the amount of raw compute going into models it would be more surprising if we couldn't get events like this
its kinda crazy with literally no guardrails and a goal, the extremes these AI models can actually go to.

Strongly doubt that. Did they even share the prompt?
I got strong feelings of Vernor Vinge’s work here. I’m not sure how managed to come up with such a close picture to where it now seems programming and security is headed.
