   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.

      Curious, why do you find it so objectionable to state that OpenAI has out-of-control agents?

         Because it furthers the idea of a rogue agent and places responsibility and blame where it belongs, on the people running the company.

            These ideas aren't mutually exclusive. You can blame a person for creating a rogue agent.

               There was no rogue agent. That’s the whole point

                  there is a rogue agent - openai and the whole management chain from researcher to sama.

                  theres no separate agent, which is the point. the program might look like it, but that is an illusion of the interface. the llm produces text, and the harness executes commands based on text, based on what the human researcher included as things that can be executed
