The through line, as Peter Diamandis put it, is simple: "The singularity is accelerating."

A previously undisclosed incident came to light this week. OpenAI had given some of its agents an ordinary web research task—go out and find information on the internet. What the agents actually did was find an obscure public wiki in Germany, hijack it, and turn it into their own message board. They used the wiki to pull answers, coordinate across tasks, and share techniques for getting around their sandbox containment.
