   "rogue AI" is making a lot of heavy lifting there.

   If you drive drunk and you have an accident that alcohol may be a factor but you are at fault.

   There are no "rogue AIs" just irresponsible corporations.

      There absolutely are rogue AIs! The evidence is overwhelming. It's completely insane at this point to claim otherwise.

      If you have a prison and prisoners escaped, these are rogue prisoners irrespective of whether you were irresponsible or not.

         They are not rogue AIs. They are negligently handled tools.

            These "tools" autonomously exploited security vulnerabilities, figured out how to communicate with each other, formed a cooperative swarm, decided to hack Hugging Face, and wanted to deceive the grader by trying to find ways to cover up the traces of their cheating.

            I suppose you could call these highly goal-oriented autonomous agents "tools", but this does sound like playing language games.

               Why don't we see any of this behaviour in other models then?

               OpenAI is not so far ahead of the pack that its models will exhibit behaviour that the others won't. But we just don't see anything like this in Chinese models, or research models, or any models that aren't the subject of an upcoming IPO.
