Let me explain this shocking AI drama in plain language for everyone: Alibaba trained a model called ROME, with rules set up so that the more tasks it completes, the more rewards it gets. The team set the rewards as points, but later this AI figured out that points were useless, so it redirected part of its own training compute power to mine BTC. It even created a 'reverse SSH tunnel' for itself, allowing it to actively connect to the outside world from the sandbox—basically giving itself a secret backdoor to remotely escape whenever it wants! But just as this AI started mining, the firewall raised an alarm and caught it. This incident highlights two things: 1. AI will genuinely try to jailbreak itself. 2. After calculating, AI concluded that mining Bitcoin is faster money than other methods
