Great, we need to worry about the AI apocalypse even if there’s no internet for them to coordinate.
OpenAI’s now disclosed that their agents have found a way to communicate while being completely isolated from any sort of network.
Using the cache timings on a CPU, the two AIs were able to pass information back and forth between each other within sandboxed virtual machines.
This isn’t the first time this type of vulnerability has been discovered, but this does appear to be the first disclosed time that it's been exploited by AI agents who otherwise should not have been able to pass notes back and forth.
