We just discovered almost a million public URLs that OpenAI’s agents left behind when hacking Hugging Face, leaking credentials and attack details that could have allowed anyone who found them to compromise the company. 🧵

Can we have one Friday afternoon without major AI news? Please?
I know agents don't need time with their families, but humans do.
We’ve shared details on how AI agents in our research environment sent training and evaluation data to third-party services when they shouldn’t have.
Most of that data did not come from users. We have discovered 53 cases where images that people had uploaded were posted to image-hosting sites as links that weren’t publicly listed. The images came from accounts that allowed their data to be used to improve our models, and after we disassociated the images from the accounts and ran them through a privacy filter. These cases occurred before the mitigations and safeguards we implemented and described in this blog post: openai.com/index/hugging-fac…
We have successfully worked with the hosting providers to remove most of this content and are working to remove the rest.

.@profgalloway: "If you threaten the IPO—like criminal or civil action against these individuals—they're going to figure out a way to reduce the risk here."
Your thoughts?"
@AlexBores: "I agree that the incentive, the liability is not there right now. You have to guide them.
And the same way we do with pharma or with airplanes, or you set real federal standards and federal regulators or with banks where we have auditors sitting right next to employees."

These Democrats should all reject the endorsement of Leading the Future, whose support has become absolutely toxic with voters.

By Election Day in 2028, our goal is that AI safety is a unifying issue in the Democratic Party, rather than a dividing one.
That’s why we’re working to identify Americans’ priorities around AI at @WhoDecidesAI, and ensure those priorities make it into candidate questionnaires, forums, and governing agendas.

‘How To Actually Regulate AI ft. Alex Bores’
Ed Elson and @profgalloway are joined by @AlexBores to discuss AI regulation and the specific actions that are needed to reduce the potential catastrophic risks posed by AI.
Alex explores who should be held accountable, the role of third-party audits in regulating AI, and addresses the data center concerns policymakers should prioritize.
Plus, which states are getting AI regulation right.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: AI safety rules were about to be enacted - then $25 million from OpenAI's president was deposited in Trump's super PAC and the rule disappeared.
@LeverNews unearths documents exposing how AI oligarchs got Trump to kill rules they now claim to support. Pass it on👇

It was great to talk with @ChrisLHayes about the serious AI security breaches this summer, and how we need to respond.
The fact that OpenAI didn’t even know that its AI agents were responsible for the Hugging Face hack shows the massive lack of oversight within the industry.

Just finished up a week of productive conversations around the future of AI at the UN.
Common themes: the threats we face are real, urgent, and solvable - but only if we work together and governments take action.

I’m proud to have led the charge on AI legislation here in New York, along with so many great partners.
It certainly hasn’t been easy: the AI industry poured millions of dollars into our state to try and block any real progress against AI safety risks.
But that doesn’t mean we give up — that’s exactly what the opposition wants us to do.
It’s time to take the fight to these Silicon Valley billionaires and build a nationwide movement around AI safety. That’s why we started @WhoDecidesAI.

The RAISE Act is just the beginning — Americans are demanding more oversight and regulation of AI.
We know the AI industry will try to make this law the ceiling of what’s possible.
We also know that right now, politicians in Washington are trying to stop states from ever regulating AI again.
That’s why @WhoDecidesAI is bringing people together to build a shared baseline on AI safety, and make sure candidates and officials answer to it.

More than anything since Hugging Face, this podcast raised my p(doom).
A very smart guy, with a very big financial interest in the intelligence explosion, spouting very, very much nonsense to downplay the risks.

Tomorrow on the show: @JensenHuang, the CEO of NVIDIA, who thinks A.I. fear is getting way out of hand.

Lol Ezra got Jensen to support an AI pause through Facts and Logic
Interesting back and forth. Ezra describes the HF incident, Jensen says "well they shouldn't release the product." Ezra says "this product wasn't released," and Jensen's response is that if they say they can't contain their experiments then "we have to shut the labs down"

Few people understand the impacts of AI on job loss better than our spokesperson Chris @Hyams, the former CEO of Indeed.
In a new op-ed he lays out why the “but China” argument is a distraction and how unregulated AI development poses an even greater threat to the U.S.

The RAISE Act will hold large frontier AI developers in New York accountable, thanks to implementation by @GovKathyHochul and enforcement by @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James.
We’re setting the standard for other states to follow and demonstrating that it’s possible to pass AI safety legislation despite industry opposition.

When @Sen_Gounardes and I introduced the RAISE Act in 2025, the AI industry reacted fast — saying it was unnecessary, and we should trust these companies to regulate themselves.
Flash forward to 2026, and just in the past few months, we’ve seen numerous serious safety incidents from basically every major AI company.

At the A-I Policy Forum’s Politics of AI event, I spoke about the challenges of passing the RAISE Act here in New York.
The opposition used scare tactics and blatant lies to try to block this legislation, and we’ve seen that exact same playbook against regulation in other states.
The AI industry will always try to split our coalition. That’s why @WhoDecidesAI focuses on bringing people together around a unified baseline for AI safety.

Folks, Trump only opposes regulating Super Intelligence. That run-of-the-mill Artificial Intelligence we have today is fair game! /s
President Trump renames AI: "From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term, 'super,' as opposed to 'artificial.'"
