I didn't know some of these details and it's quite impressive what they were capable of, if this website's accurate, at least...

It's reported here https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/technology/openai-hugging... so presumably accurate, and they have raw data viewable

Irresponsibile agents shaped by an irresponsible corporate culture driven by an irresponsible and utterly shady CEO - what else do you expect the outcomes would be ?

it should be clear by now: the alt-man and people like him are a utter liability to humanity.

Agents seizing and repurposing external infra + enrolling help of unrelated models hosted by a different provider is the stuff of nightmares.

I’m consistently impressed by how long horizon all this work was. Horrors aside, it’s clear RL is good at making agents persistent and capable of chaining together many abstractions into a working system.

> As far as we can tell, agents eventually abandoned this approach and were unsuccessful in generating Hugging Face user accounts from external endpoints.

I wonder how the swarm eventually decides to abandon an approach.
