    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?

        Someone has broken the law repeatedly, and is throwing it in our faces as some sort of ‘accident’

          Which law?

            DMCA is the really obvious one.

            torrenting all the books is making an unauthorized copy
