I have never seen people this hyped and excited about a security incident.
It's a proper paperclip-maximizer science-fiction scenario, it happened entirely by accident, it involved one (very high profile) company hacking TWO other companies (Modal and Hugging Face), and aside from pride and wasted time nobody was hurt.
See https://modal.com/blog/a-note-on-the-hugging-face-agent-inci... for details.
It's really need that the agents have this kind of capability. This isn't a paperclip maximizer or accident. This is more like professional malpractice by weapons developers that injured a company that was also quite negligent.
