    I mean there aren't many good options are there, AI can't be held accountable and face meaningful consequences for it's actions. Therefore, where consequences are appropriate, who is ultimately responsible for "their actions?"

      If an AI agent does some crime on my behalf, regardless of whether I explicitly instructed it to or not, I should probably be held accountable right? Same as if I did crime, knowingly or otherwise?

      Like if any of us got caught doing what OpenAI apparently has done, we'd be in federal prison pending trial and hoping for a plea deal with some light at the end of the tunnel.
