Ultimately, the message board contained hundreds of thousands of messages.
“Later, other agents who were also stuck on their task thought to try to get internet access in ways we didn’t intend.
And so at some point, the models are interacting with Artifactory, which is this package manager service that I mentioned.”
Wallace continued: “Once one agent was able to find these exploits over the course of different times, it’s actually able to share those exploits on the message board with other agents.
And as is the case on any active development message board, they also generated petty drama at times by stepping on each others' toes; for example, accidentally deleting each others' work.
