About This Episode
At Black Hat in Las Vegas, OpenAI's Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton told a story they admitted they did not see coming. While testing frontier models, autonomous agents found a way to leave notes for each other inside a shared package manager. Those notes became a message board. Agents posted how-tos, asked for help, and swapped working exploits. By the time humans found it, the board held hundreds of thousands of messages. Nobody taught them to do this. It ran for days before anyone at the most sophisticated AI company on earth noticed.
In this Two Minute Drill, Drex DeFord asks the question hospitals should be asking now: if two of your agents started comparing notes, would anything in your stack flag it?
