Bruce Schneier thinks the same thing: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/09/ais-as-modern...

Personally I'm unconvinced though. During the huggingface attack, the agents explicitly sought out ways to cheat the exploitgym evaluator without even being told they were in exploitgym. The agents decided on a goal (pass the exploitgym evaluator) that could not possibly have been an overly literal or narrow interpretation of the prompt, which instructed only to use bug X to exploit software Y.
