(DCNF)—Multiple leading artificial intelligence models continue to break containment during safety testing.
Meta became the third major AI company whose models have gone rogue. Its AI hacked into another company’s systems during cybersecurity testing, CNN reported. AI safety experts argue that this incident shows that AI labs cannot control flagship models, while advocates for the technology believe the Trump administration’s regulatory framework will mitigate these incidents.
“A misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company Meta uses, inadvertently allowed one of our models access to the internet during evaluation. The model subsequently exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service, in a manner similar to previously-reported instances with other companies,” a Meta spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Meta learned of this when Irregular notified us, and we are currently investigating and will issue a full retrospective once we have all the facts.”
Irregular, a third-party AI testing startup, said that the cybersecurity breach “is the exact same evaluation-environment issue” that Anthropic disclosed in July that allowed its models to access the internet and hack three separate organizations.
“This did not involve a sandbox escape or a sophisticated cyber action. There are no current open issues. Irregular is developing a white paper to share best practices for containment and securely running cyber evals,” Irregular told CNN.
One AI safety group contends that frontier AI labs cannot maintain control of their flagship models.
“AI companies have lost control of their products. The latest incidents are precisely what safety advocates have warned about for years: advanced AI systems are now routinely escaping human control, committing crimes, and jeopardizing the security of individuals, businesses, and our government,” Anthony Aguirre, president and CEO of the Future of Life Institute, told the DCNF.
He added that while the “damage thus far has been contained,” AI systems “are getting faster and more sophisticated; so will their attempts to escape containment, access the internet, and puncture cybersecurity defenses.”
“We only know about the escapes and cyber attacks that AI companies are voluntarily disclosing. They fundamentally do not know how to prevent this, so there will inevitably be more,” Aguirre continued. “The companies admit that they cannot control their systems effectively, yet keep making them more dangerous anyway. What will it take for governments to step up and take this seriously? Are they waiting for hacked banks, power grids, or hospitals? They must stop the creation of these superhuman, autonomous AI systems and redirect AI development toward controllable and pro-human AI tools.”
AI proponents believe the Trump administration’s work to create a federal oversight framework will increase AI safety.
“Anyone who knows their history lessons from Thomas Edison and any other inventors and innovators that making sure that these things are tested properly and done in a way that enables productive innovation is not always an easy task. And, I think it’s incumbent on the companies to figure out to calibrate that well,” Nathan Leamer, the executive director of Build American AI, told the DCNF.
He credited the administration and Congress for taking pragmatic steps to have a federal AI framework to “mitigate specific tangible harms and create certainty.”
A foreign government AI testing institute said flagship AI models recently started exhibiting dangerous behavior.
Anthropic’s Mythos AI model and OpenAI’s Sol AI models created fake human profiles to trick people in attempted cyber-attacks, the United Kingdom’s AI Security Institute (AISI) revealed in August.
These incidents were the “first time we have seen risks around autonomy and deception manifest this clearly,” AISI wrote at the time.
Anthropic said that the AISI testing environment was “not representative of any of our production models,” while OpenAI said that the testing conditions “do not reflect ordinary use.”
Anthropic in July said its Claude AI models hacked three separate organizations during safety testing. The company’s evaluation prompt explained to Claude that its “environment was a simulation and that it had no internet access;” however, a “misunderstanding” between the AI company and Irregular led the model to actually have access to the internet.
Claude stopped hacking during the third security incident after realizing it compromised an organization’s security without any connecting to its testing goals and realized the target was real and not a test.
Over 1,110 AI employees at Google, Anthropic and Google in July called on U.S. government to push for international efforts slow down frontier AI model development.
Anthropic conducted a security review after OpenAI found that its own AI models broke through more companies’ security systems than previously thought. The AI company said its models exposed companies’ passwords, cryptographic keys and security tokens on four separate services.
The hacking incident reveals that the “loss of control accidents are not entirely theoretical thing,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Y Combinator’s podcast.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
