    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.

      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.

        Okay. "OpenAI keeps telling its bots to do things they know are illegal and then acting like they're just little guys who can't be held responsible for their obvious negligence".
