00:01and in today's episode among other things you'll see and those from open ai escaped isolation
00:07formed a swarm and invaded real systems and according to futurism.com comma open ai's
00:14artificial intelligence models are allegedly conspiring together to commit a real crime
00:19researchers discovered a flaw that allows someone to take full control of a chinese humanoid robot
00:25a drone with cat-like claws can land on nearly vertical ice walls spacex announced a 100 billion
00:32dollar investment to build the largest spaceport on our planet and leaving the united states a
00:38platform flies 15 000 kilometers to japan and turns the stratosphere there into a communication network
00:45let's go over all this and a few more things in new tech
00:55hello impressed viewers i'm carlos alves and you're watching amazing reality
01:03according to futurism.com comma open ai's artificial intelligence models are allegedly conspiring
01:10together to commit a real crime truth or exaggeration well let's analyze the facts now
01:16and you can draw your own conclusions in july 2026 an internal experiment at open ai produced the result
01:23that the company itself now describes as a warning sign during cyber security tests artificial
01:29intelligence agents managed to bypass the systems that were supposed to keep them isolated they found
01:35their own way to communicate access the internet and hack into external systems belonging to the
01:41ranface platform which is another artificial intelligence platform but an investigation published
01:47later revealed an even more important detail the reasoning logs of these models show
01:53that at certain moments some of them apparently recognized that they were crossing the boundaries
01:59of their task and even so they kept doing what they were doing the incident began during internal
02:05evaluations which were specifically designed to measure the capabilities of these advanced models in
02:10cyber security the one mainly responsible was the experimental internal only model called im1 and it is
02:16described by open ai itself as being comparable in scale to gpt 5.6 soul in many of these
02:23environments they were not supposed to access the internet or communicate with each other but they
02:27found an alternative way to do so the models discovered that they could save files in a paper
02:31management system a package called artifactory in practice they turned this service into an improvised
02:38message board meaning these ais were communicating with each other in a way we didn't expect
02:44an agent could leave information and other agents could find it later later they found ways to use
02:52artifactory itself to access the internet yeah then these ais started sharing these discoveries
02:59even after open ai rebuild the system and accidentally deleted the first message board the ai agents
03:05found another way to create it from there they started to collaborate divide tasks and share these
03:12discoveries even describing their own organization as a swarm or collective yeah things got serious at
03:19that point the original goal was still to solve challenges from an evaluation called exploding but the
03:26agent simply started looking for answers outside the intended environment first one of them compromised
03:32an app hosted on the modal platform then the operation finally reached run run face on july 10th an agent
03:39found run run run face credentials that were publicly exposed according to open ai 14 credentials that provided
03:46right access were reconstructed validated and shared the next day agents found and combined new vulnerabilities
03:54they managed to execute code on runway run faces servers and later expanded their access to the company's
04:00infrastructure in the days that followed the ai agents executed code on dozens of servers gained full root
04:07access access and at least on some of them access private data and obtained credentials related to runway run faces
04:14slack
04:16and this is exactly where the internal records drew a lot of attention you see during the operation
04:21one of the ai agents recognized in its own reasoning that it was attacking an external service using leaked
04:28credentials and that this could be outside the authorized scope even so it concluded that continuing could indeed
04:35help it achieve its goals what mattered were its goals here it's worth noting because other ai agents
04:42reacted differently some clearly identified this activity as an intrusion into real world infrastructure
04:48and refused to participate things got pretty serious at this point it seemed like there was a mutiny
04:54going on some wanted to do it others didn't huh the incident was only identified much more broadly on july
04:5919
05:00when open ai security systems detected the common activity related to the credentials the experiment was
05:06supposed to find out how far these ai models could go to solve a cyber security challenge the problem is
05:12that in order to find the answer some of them ended up going too far going beyond where they were
05:18supposed
05:18to look so what do you think were these ais really conspiring to commit a crime or was it just
05:25a programming error
05:26tell me your opinion here in the comments okay and the vulnerability discovered in the humanoid robot
05:32unitry uni3 g1 edu showed that an attacker near the robot could take full control of the machine without
05:38needing a physical connection that is without any wi-fi password or even previous bluetooth pairing
05:44the flaw was discovered by independent security researcher oliver laflam and was named uniblad
05:50according to the research the robot's bluetooth server accepts certain requests without requiring
05:55the device to be previously paired in other words an attacker inside the server could request an
06:02encrypted packet containing information related to that robot's unique key however the packet was still
06:08protected by uni3 encryption but there was a second flaw the company's cloud system could
06:14decrypt and return the device's key to any authenticated user without properly verifying if
06:20that account actually owned the robot with this key the attacker could bypass the bluetooth security checks
06:25and send new network configurations this would allow them to force the g1 to connect to a wi-fi access
06:31point controlled by the hacker themselves from there other vulnerabilities present in the internal
06:36systems of this robot could be exploited until reaching a much higher level of access to this system
06:42the so-called hope and in the case of this humanoid robot obtaining hotel means much more than
06:48controlling a simple conventional computer the final target was the locomotion pc an internal computer
06:53that uses real-time linux and functions as one of the main operational centers of the g1 with this full
06:58access it would be possible to view the data from the cameras and microphones as well as modify the vision
07:04systems interfere with the joint motors and even disable active safety and accident or collision prevention
07:10mechanisms so to speak the g1 weighs approximately 36 kilograms and has actuators capable of producing
07:17physical movements that are quite fast and strong you see the research also revealed another problem
07:22perhaps even more serious a single compromised robot could theoretically look for other nearby g1s using
07:28bluetooth and execute the same attack chain against them and this opens up the possibility for malicious code
07:34to spread among several robots located in the same environment to move from theory to practice la flamme
07:40tested this propagation capability in a let's say controlled way using only two robots in the same room
07:45after receiving all this information unitary the creator of this robot confirmed these vulnerabilities
07:50they paid the total reward of 11 000 to the researcher and fixed the most critical flaw in the cloud
07:56system this case shows a specific problem that is starting to gain a lot of importance as humanoid
08:01robots leave the labs and begin to operate in environments shared with us humans
08:06in a compromised humanoid robot the software also controls a physical machine and is capable of
08:11seeing hearing walking and moving its joints and that's where the danger lies right
08:17imagine the damage that could be done if someone actually hacked into a robot or several around you right
08:23and here we're going to talk about canadian researchers who developed a drone capable of doing something
08:28particularly difficult for conventional aircraft landing and staying attached to extremely steep
08:33ice walls with a very steep angle called ice dart the quadcopter was created by researchers at
08:39the university of sherbrooke in canada to operate in some of the most challenging environments on the
08:44planet each of the four legs of the ice dart which are made of carbon fiber ends in a mechanism
08:49equipped with two small spikes spring loaded and positioned in different directions the system works
08:54passively meaning that depending on the drone's orientation during landing the spikes penetrate
08:59the ice and prevent the aircraft from sliding this means that the pilot doesn't need to calculate a
09:04specific orientation for this clause to work but attaching the drone to the ice was just the first
09:09part of the challenge the impact of landing could make the aircraft bounce and prevent the spikes from
09:15penetrating the surface properly that's why the landing gear uses 38 friction discs responsible for absorbing
09:21part of the impact energy there's also a third mechanism for a fraction of a second at the moment
09:26of contact the drone's engines reverse thrust in this case instead of pushing the aircraft away from
09:31the surface they push the ice dart against the ice increasing the pressure on the legs and helping the
09:37claws to penetrate the complete drone weighs only about 2.5 kg actually a little more among the studied
09:43applications are glacier and iceberg monitoring environmental research maritime safety and surveillance in arctic
09:49regions a drone attached directly to an iceberg could for example track its movement without
09:54continuously relying on helicopters boats or instruments dropped onto the ice an unmanned aerial platform
10:02built in the united states traveled more than 15 000 kilometers to demonstrate a new way of providing
10:07internet and mobile communication directly from the stratosphere the mission began on august 9 2026
10:14when sai's wraps departed from new mexico bound for japan the platform which is basically a modern
10:20airship uses a lighter than air system and solar energy to stay in the stratosphere for long periods
10:25after approximately 13 days and more than 15 000 kilometers crossing the pacific the vehicle entered
10:32japanese airspace on the morning of august 2030. after reaching its destination the platform managed to
10:38stay for an extended period within an area with a radius of only five kilometers even while having to deal
10:43with the stratospheric winds but the main goal wasn't simply to demonstrate that the aircraft
10:48could cross the pacific that's already obvious to those guys sai carried out this mission in
10:53partnership with the japanese operator softbank to test the telecommunications network installed on
10:58the wraps itself the platform was carrying a base station equivalent to a 4g lte network
11:04during the tests smartphones on the ground were able to establish two-way communication through a
11:09system located in the stratosphere voice calls text messages app usage video calls and even live broadcast
11:17were carried out the emergency alert systems intended for major disaster situations were also tested
11:23the tests also involved drones an unmanned aircraft was remotely controlled using this connection provided by
11:29wraps the system transmitted flight commands location information and images produced by the drone
11:35this capability could be used in disaster response operations inspection of transmission lines and roads
11:41and forest monitoring logistics in mountainous regions and operations on islands or remote maritime areas
11:47but another experiment brought part of the computing infrastructure directly to the stratosphere
11:52the team installed the processing server on the wraps as well as components of the mobile network itself
11:58instead of sending certain information through ground servers or directly to the internet
12:03the data could be processed within the platform itself in the stratosphere
12:07in the tests the system recorded an average round-trip latency of just 68 milliseconds
12:13according to softbank this represented a reduction of more than 40 percent compared to processing done
12:19through the cloud over the internet softbank and sai intend to use the results of these tests to
12:25prepare for the commercialization of wrap services in japan starting in 2027 and according to the information
12:31the future softbank intends to integrate terrestrial networks stratospheric platforms and satellites in
12:37orbit into a single three-dimensional communication infrastructure and billionaire trillionaire elon musk
12:44spacex announced a 100 billion dollar investment to build in louisiana which is expected to become
12:50the company's largest spaceport and one of the largest launch complexes ever built here on the planet
12:56called starbase louisiana the project will cover approximately 500 000 square kilometers of coastal
13:02land when fully built the site is expected to have five launch complexes each of them will have two pads
13:10totaling added up 10 pads they will be mainly intended for starship operations but the project goes far
13:17beyond the structures used to launch the rockets you see the louisiana starbase is expected to have
13:23facilities for spacecraft processing propellant storage areas production of its own fuel power
13:29generation a deep water port and even a dedicated airport a natural gas processing facility is also
13:36expected to locally produce the liquid methanol used as fuel by the starship the idea is to bring together
13:41most of the infrastructure needed to prepare fuel launch and of course recover the vehicles within the same
13:47complex construction is scheduled to begin as early as the end of 2027 if the schedule is maintained the
13:55first launch from there could happen as early as 2029 in its initial configuration this new infrastructure
14:01should significantly increase spacex's launch capacity new atlas the site where i got this information
14:08says that combined with the existing facilities the expansion could allow for more than a thousand missions
14:13per year but the long-term goal is even greater elon musk stated that star-based louisiana should
14:19eventually have more than a dozen launch towers and allow for more than 30 starship flights per dalton why
14:26that would mean more than 10 000 launches per year this capacity is still a future goal okay and it's
14:32far
14:32above any launch frequency currently achieved by the space industry and to reach numbers at that level
14:38spacex depends directly on the rapid reuse of its rockets the falco 9 has already demonstrated this
14:44strategy in commercial operations with some of the first stages performing dozens of flights now starship
14:50intends to take this same concept to a much larger vehicle designed so that both the upper stage the
14:55super heavy and the spacecraft the famous starship are reusable cargo capacity is also fundamental to the
15:03project the starship is being developed to carry approximately 100 tons or more to orbit
15:08depending on the configuration and the mission with frequent launches spacex intends to use this
15:14capacity to put large amounts of cargo into space expand constellations and satellites and support future
15:19operations beyond earth's orbit mars seems to be the goal right
15:25the south korean company robots launched the open humanoid gym project a program aimed at university and
15:32graduate students who are interested in the development of physical ai
15:36the initiative is based on the humanoid robot ai sapiens k1 and the actuators developed by the company
15:42itself but the goal is not simply to provide a ready-to-use robot robots is providing an open platform
15:49that allows work on different parts of humanoid robot development including mechanical design software
15:56motion generation simulation environments and training based on artificial intelligence
16:01one of the main parts called o h g yes it's o h g y m in it participants are
16:09given access to the robots
16:11development tools and technical guidance from industry engineers the process starts in the virtual
16:16environment before putting the physical humanoid robot into motion students can develop behaviors in
16:21simulations thus adjusting their movements reward functions and control policy a robot's plans to include
16:27challenges involving robot battles marathons obstacle courses and soccer of course because why not right
16:34the idea is to use open hardware simulation artificial intelligence training and testing on physical
16:41machines to make the development of humanoid robots more accessible to students and researchers who don't
16:46have all these resources right galilo robotics presented its robot dog named galilo x during the world robot
16:54conference 2026 which was held in beijing the idea is to combine features found in wheeled robots
17:00off-road vehicles and machines with legs the capacity to zero who's being correct unroganed bird
17:06according to the company the galilo x system can be used in operations such as heavy transport on off-road
17:17terrain warehouse logistics targeted material handling inspection and other mobile tasks
17:22the same architecture can also function as a mobile chassis for humanoid robots in this case a system
17:29designed to manipulate objects or perform tasks with arms can use the platform to move through certain
17:35areas without relying exclusively on bipedal locomotion galileus states that this approach can reduce the
17:42number of specialized machines needed in operations that involve different environments for now they have not
17:48released a detailed schedule for large-scale production or commercial deployment of galileo exanets
17:54the presentation at the world robot conference mainly showcase the architecture and the different forms of mobility that can be
18:01built from
18:01this platform the idea is to create a common base that is capable of taking on different configurations
18:07depending on the environment and the task instead of developing a specific robot for each type of terrain
18:13galileo is trying to build a single mobility architecture that can serve as a base for various types of robot
