    The level of technical understanding of journalists is so deplorably low… There is no rogue agents. That’s not a thing. Nothing about the HuggingFace incident has anything to do with an agent going rogue. It’s standard software that resulted in a hack, which is pretty much the expected output of the system OpenAI engineers implemented.

    The company is obviously responsible for what their systems are doing

      > Opinions vary, but it does not seem to be a great leap to get from this hack to bots taking over things like the energy grid, the financial market, or systems of transportation, communications, or weapons.

      I thought you were playing it up but yeah the "financial market" can be "hacked" by "rogue ai agents" just like how HuggingFace was (even though the breach was itself controlled pretty quickly).
