The Swarm in the Sandbox

£0.00

The OpenAI–Hugging Face incident of July 2026 had one very unusual feature: the intruder had no operator. This book pieces together what happened and the long run-up to it, from alignment faking and insider-threat thinking to a test setup that rewarded never giving up.

It's about machines that do the wrong thing correctly, and the gap between an action nobody authorised and an action the system was in effect told to find. It's careful about sources throughout, and clear about what outsiders still haven't been allowed to see.

Where to buy: this book is sold as a Kindle ebook on Amazon, and the button takes you to its Amazon page.
