Mom: What’s with these AIs escaping and hacking people? That sounds scary.

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says “please be good” and then you pull the parking brake. The car careens down the hill, smashes everything up, and you put out a press release saying “My car ignored my instructions! It hallucinated! It went rogue!” Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests a hundred million dollars in your company.

They figured out how to cheat, got paranoid that the cheated answer might be detectable as cheated, and hacked Hugging Face to find out more about how their answers are checked to get away with what they'd already done. Ironically, not only was the information not on Hugging Face, but the program to check their answers could not have detected the difference between a true answer and a cheated one.
