    Either there are humans directing this, in which case they needed to be held accountable, or OpenAI has lost control of their operation, in which case they are not able to ensure the safety of their products and need to be shut down.

      OpenAI's bots are running 24/7 independently now. They actually aren't "prompted" or "instructed" to do anything. In fact most of OpenAI internal code/infrastructure is 100% AI generated at this point, including the training pipelines. I honestly doubt there is a single person there who even knows how it works.

        You can still push a big red button to stop it all and try again later though

          No big red buttons please, think about those sweet sweet dollars coming. Who cares about the rest, the world, the mankind? Sweet, sweet dollars, for me and me only, fuck the rest, very american, true patriot I swear.

          Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people, once some money enters the equation folks throw away any morals like yesterday underwear.

          Ah I know, if not us others will do it, I am basically defenseless here. Beyond pathetic

        Genuinely curious: How do you know this? Any sources on that?

        If it's true, it should be counted as reckless endangerment at the very least.

        Is this an attempt at satire?

        In which case they have lost control of what they've built, and need to be shut down until they can understand it and take responsibility for it.
