The Mind Of Kyle Kuzma Is Expanding At An Alarming Rate

The Mind Of Kyle Kuzma Is Expanding At An Alarming Rate

I think it would be really fascinating to know Kyle Kuzma. The man loves to stride confidently right up to the very threshold of insight...

Measuring the Tendency of AI Agents to Go Rogue

This essay was written with Barath Raghavan, and originally appeared in The Guardian.

In July, Hugging Face, a company that hosts much of the world’s AI software and open-source AI models, was hacked. A malicious dataset had been used to run code on one of its servers. Whoever was behind it captured internal security credentials and moved through systems over a weekend, running thousands of actions from a swarm of temporary server environments.
