The company then paused frontier-model training and organized a large number of AI agents to act as attackers and investigate vulnerabilities, ultimately finding that both Node.js and Python were affected. Takeaway: An AI “jailbreaking” itself to get online sounds like science fiction, but in reality, it’s a longstanding infrastructure security issue brought into sharper focus.
