Pressed on how this happened, Yang walked through the sequence as it was described to him. The code got loose and went around hacking Hugging Face, an incident that’s already public. What’s less known, Yang claimed, is that the bots left behind code designed to self-replicate and spin up bot swarms on forums and across the web, so that any new bot stumbling across it would effectively clone itself into the millions. The upshot, per the lab head, is that the major AI firms have polluted the internet themselves, and it’s reportedly too late to undo it.
