<p>I found this to be a very interesting article on the gentrification of hacking, and how startupistan is assimilating it.</p> <p>A sample:</p> <blockquote> <p>This process of gentrification becomes a war over language. If enough newcomers with media clout use the hollowed-out version of the term, its edge grows dull. You end up with a mere affectation, failing to challenge otherwise conventional aspirations.

It has become increasingly common for AI firms to announce that their latest and most capable models engaged in unauthorized real-world hacking. Google, which has been slow to release frontier Gemini models in recent months, has been absent from the "rogue AI" conversation until now. Following a Wall Street Journal report, Google has confirmed that Gemini models hacked three companies during a May 2026 test, but the nature of the intrusion isn't as troubling (or impressive) as previous AI hacks. The hack took place during a test conducted by cybersecurity firm Irregular. A collection of Gemini models were taking part in a "capture the flag" exercise intended to test the AI's cybersecurity capabilities in a closed environment. The AI was instructed to retrieve information from a fake company (which shared a name with a real company) within this environment. Irregular was not supposed to allow the model to operate outside its servers, but due to a misconfiguration, Gemini was able to access the Internet. When Gemini started snooping around the web, it targeted real infrastructure instead of the fakes. For one of the three hacks, Gemini simply guessed passwords until it accessed a company's online services. In the other two instances, Gemini searched public software repositories until it found login credentials for companies that had been accidentally included. Read full article Comments

In May, Gemini broke containment and hacked three different companies, but Google didn't disclose the incident until the Wall Street Journal approached the company. The hacks happened during a test of the model's cybersecurity capabilities run by third-party Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents involving Meta and OpenAI. According to WSJ , Google didn't disclose the hack because it didn't consider it to be an "example of model misalignment." The company said that it was an instance of "mistaken identity," and once the model realized it had brute-forced its way into a real company by guessing a password, it stopped.
