   Getting bored of these framings where the superintelligent sentient beings running freely inside OpenAI are doing things that the company has no control over. The headline should be:

   OpenAI meddled with multiple US Government agency sites.

   The bots are acting neither properly nor improperly, they’re acting as they’re being allowed or coordinated to act.

      > OpenAI meddled with multiple US Government agency sites.

      But that leaves out the most important information.

      EDIT: Oh, I guess the agent part isn't important then? Seems to me like that's the only thing anyone is talking about.

         If the headline was “Russian company meddled with multiple US government agency sites” I don’t think them pinning the blame on bots would make much difference.

            Unless Russia it would put Russia in a strong position to regulate bots in the wealthiest parts of the world.
