Venerdì scorso Tara Wheeler (AI's hacking capabilities are severely 
underestimated, FU 28.8.26 p. 17) ha tra l'altro scritto: "Publicly available 
AI subscription models like Claude have safeguards that mostly prevent requests 
to create exploits. But those safeguards do not exist when someone runs 
open-weight models on their own hardware". Mi domando se sia un argomento di 
marketing: io ho avuto il problema x ma l'ho risolto e posso risolverlo; i miei 
competitors non potranno mai risolverlo.

Oggetto: [nexa] R: Caso Hugging face

Buongiorno, io condivido la lettura dell'episodio data da Erik Salvaggio, in 
The System From Nowhere.
Si tratta, a voler essere benevoli, di un caso di incompetenza raccontato in 
modo fantascientifico per ragioni pubblicitarie:

"The system from nowhere" is a way of talking about AI systems that excludes 
its origin as a consciously, human-designed product. It treats AI as if it were 
a spontaneously emerging force.
It's a reflection of where an observer draws the system's boundary when they 
look at it. It's also a rhetorical magic trick that makes both AI companies, 
labor and the underlying material infrastructure disappear.

Recently, an OpenAI model "hacked" another AI company, Hugging Face. The 
headlines:

New York Times: "OpenAI says its models went rogue and attacked a digital 
library."
Wired Magazine: "OpenAI models escaped containment and hacked Hugging Face."
Washington Post: "OpenAI's models went rogue and hacked another company."

When we say "AI models went rogue," we skip the entire story: the part where 
OpenAI manually removed the model's cybersecurity blocks.
We skip that OpenAI chose to test it on a machine with a live network 
connection.
If you see AI as a system from nowhere, you can make the claim that the model 
"went rogue," and that it "broke containment," both of which place agency and 
decision-making onto the model itself rather than the people who set the stage 
for that behavior.

When you expand the boundary of the system to include the people building and 
deploying it, the case becomes much less science fiction and more like 
incompetence.
OpenAI developers optimized an LLM specifically for cybersecurity and coding 
and then ran it without security guardrails.
So they trained a model to find exploits and then acted surprised that it found 
them.

La ricostruzione di Salvaggio è confermata da Margaret Mitchell, di Hugging 
Face, pur con qualche antropomorfizzazione dovuta forse alla scelta di servirsi 
di una storia a fumetti:

Oggetto: [nexa] Caso Hugging face

Buongiorno!

Mi sono imbattuta in 
questo<https://substack.com/inbox/post/213737931?utm_source=email&redirect=app-store-no-desktop&inbox=true&utm_campaign=email-read-in-app&triedRedirect=true<https://url.de.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/vpDvC99JVPC66jOuqSNNiqNCg7?domain=substack.com>>
 articolo di Jordan Schneider su Chinatalk su substack sul caso Hugging face 
hack e open AI di cui c'è qui una breve descrizione: 
https://www.axios.com/2026/08/29/openai-huggingface-hack-investigation-highlights<https://url.de.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/9YglC08wJPu99zyUqTPPi9ukvH?domain=axios.com>.
La notizia è abbastanza diffusa ormai.

Che cosa ne pensate di questo fatto? È davvero così "sensazionale" come alcuni 
articoli riportano o uno dei tanti incidenti di percorso? Ci dice qualcosa sul 
fatto che i modelli AI sono strutturalmente pensati per diventare attori 
strategici di attacco/guerra oppure questa lettura esagera il tutto?

Buon inizio settembre a tutte e tutti!
