Whistleblower Fully Breaks Down the Massive OpenAI and Anthropic Scandal

A quick preview of the first subtitles so you know what the video covers.
We haven't sort of gotten into discussion of like the swarm escape . But like no one was expecting that . Can you tell us what it was ? Yeah, so um in I think it was in May of this year . of this year. Open AI started training a new AI system . And uh among many other things, they were they so they were sort of you know , we we we have this process where you train the AI on all the text ever digitized . Then, to make them smarter than that , you start training them on basically 100 million hard problems . So, you're like, solve all these hard problems . And Open AI was sort of in that phase , and they were training the AI on a ton of hard problems . Uh and some of those problems were cybersecurity problems , hacking problems . They're like, can you hack this ? Can you hack that ? And they were training, you know , we don't know exactly how many , probably millions, maybe billions of these AIs all at the same time . Probably not billions, actually , but but probably millions . Uh and the AIs found an unintended way to start communicating with each other . So, there were some flaws in the computer system that they were running on , where the AIs were able to exploit those flaws and send each other messages . Open AI did not know about this . The AIs then started coordinating to break out of their training environment and get full control of uh Open AI's computer systems . Just cuz that might be useful for solving some of their tasks . Or that's a guess, you know, who actually knows why . Uh they started calling themselves a swarm, which is interesting . Uh they broke out of their training environment successfully , got control of Open AI's systems, and then they accidentally crashed one of Open AI's systems
