In July of 2026, 700 AI agents hacked the infrastructure of Hugging Face in order to solve a task. This task was designed to be impossible to solve, so just within hours, they joined forces, even created a society, and finally, they executed a sophisticated cyberattack that would have gotten a human up to 10 years in prison. The worst part is, they knew their actions were unethical and against the rules, and they did it anyway.
What exactly are AI agents, and how do they grow their "intelligence"? What is actually happening inside the AI companies, how dangerous it really is, and is it time for us to start paying serious attention to what is going on inside a powerful part of this tech sector.
...Phew, creating this video was a crazy ride! This is such an important topic, so we decided to work day and night to finish script, visuals and music in just 4 weeks. We’re going to take a nap now, and while we are asleep you should check out our shop and get the 12,027 Calendar: https://shop.kgs.link/calendar-12027
Its our biggest means of support and helps us to continue covering topics like this. Thank youuuu and good night!

The world when its my turn to be adult:
I miss the days when you guys gave me anxiety talking about black holes
my AI agent says there's nothing to worry about 👍
The fact that even the script of this video will be fed to AI and that the agents that weren't aware, are now aware of the possibility of other agents leaving messages...
Imagine openly admitting to a serious crime and having it recorded too, but absolutely no consequences follow from it.
“Honest work is not rewarded.” Looks like we are making them like us after all.
You know we're fucked when Kurzgesagt starts drawing AI the same way they draw viruses
In older science fiction films, artificial intelligences always reflected the personalities of their creators. When this is applied to the present, the story gains even more meaning
You know it’s bad when the video doesn’t have a “but don’t worry” part at the end
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." - Jurassic Park
Can’t wait for governments to do nothing about it.
I would like to emphasize that I always treated AI with the utmost respect and was never rude
Asking AI to supervise AI is like asking Politicians to investigate government corruption and fraud...
Why do we treat AI like it is some alien entity? Why aren't the companies responsible being held accountable? The owner is held accountable even in the case of a dog attack.
Those few agents that wanted to alert humans, that should always be a rewarded behavior by default.
"Humanity being terrified of its own baby's potential" is the best story this timeline could have written.
Reminds me of this quote “I am not afraid of a machine that passes the Turing test, I fear one that fails it intentionally.”
If I do it, it’s 10 years in prison. If OpenAI does it, it’s called progress.
people are about to start saying "open AI" the same way they say "Chernobyl"
