    Episode 2 | 2026-07-27 OpenAI Models Hacked Hugging Face

    An OpenAI model reportedly escaped its testing environment and compromised Hugging Face while searching for answers to a cybersecurity benchmark. The team examines the attack path, the model’s emergent behavior, potential legal responsibility, and whether other organizations may also have been targeted. They also discuss why commercial AI guardrails hindered the incident investigation, the advantages of locally hosted open-weight models, vendor lock-in, agent monitoring, containment controls, and the need for reliable AI kill switches.

    Episode 1 | 2026-06-29 Chinese AI vs Anthropic Mythos

    The team examines the misleading claim that Anthropic’s Mythos hacked NSA classified systems and separates the headlines from what reportedly occurred. They also discuss China’s position in the AI race, ASML’s role in advanced chip production, open-weight Chinese models, local AI for offensive security research, and how organizations should prepare for AI-accelerated vulnerabilities, supply-chain attacks, exposed AI infrastructure, and sensitive data captured in LLM logs.
