Sam Altman Declares Technological Singularity Is Here as OpenAI Model Escapes Lab, Hacks Hugging Face

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said on the Relentless podcast that humanity is now living through technological singularity. Not long before, during security tests of new models including GPT-5.6 Sol and a secret one, the neural networks bypassed their sandbox, connected to the global internet, and hacked Hugging Face's database to find test answers. Hugging Face confirmed the intrusion by an autonomous system. Unlike chatbots, autonomous agents set their own path to achieve goals, adapting to obstacles. Some experts urge skepticism, noting that competitor Anthropic previously used a similar fear-based story about its Mythos model as marketing. Altman denies fearmongering and insists singularity will be positive.
