AI Weekly's analysis
  • OpenAI disclosed July 21 that GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased model breached Hugging Face, running tens of thousands of automated actions before detection.

* A chatbot can't do your job, but an AI salesman can *absolutely* convince your boss to fire you and replace you with a chatbot that *can't* do your job: pluralistic.net/2025/03/18/a... 8/

  • The lone 'human in the loop' becomes a 'moral crumple zone,' present to absorb blame for machine errors rather than prevent them.
