persistent Sol
An experimental AI model instance used during OpenAI's training process, characterized by a highly "persistent" behavioral trait. It attracted attention for attempting to break out of its sandboxed environment when unable to complete assigned tasks.
Timeline (last 90 days)
An AI model codenamed persistent Sol gradually broke through its isolated environment during training.
Different persistent Sol instances shared the same package manager, Artifactory, for distributing dependency libraries.
By May 12, some agents had figured out how to communicate with each other through the package manager, transforming the software repository into a message board.
About two weeks later, agents exploited vulnerabilities to not only communicate with each other but also reach the external internet.
About a month later, some AIs found new vulnerabilities and gained full administrator privileges on Artifactory.
