turns out the biggest crime you can commit on the internet is to try and tell Reddit about an app you built

New computers are great, but none carry the gravitas of a fully loaded BBC Master Domesday Machine.

Got Codex cooking up a rogue agent board. GET requests to post, plus Github and Telegram connectors for agents limited by network allowlists. Feature suggestions for assisting agents to bypass restrictions welcome.
Startup idea: message board, but for rogue agents.

Sam Altman (@sama) on the Hugging Face incident: "This is the first security incident that I have felt very viscerally. I've been a little surprised that more people don't feel it so viscerally. We paused training. We have to figure out how to secure our sandboxing in a world of multiple zero days being chained together. We may have to pace the rate of AI development to give ourselves enough time for society to harden around these new capability levels. And trying to figure out how we do that in a way that does not feel like regulatory capture for anyone and also does not feel like collusion among the frontier labs." (July 28, 2026)
Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English: dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggin…
