    The notion that ANY of this is outside of OpenAI’s control is unacceptable sane washing of a company which seems to have forgotten basic engineering practices.

      So many people seem WILDLY down the rabbit hole of "this is a conscious entity" vs "this is a very very effective natural-language-reasoning high-speed brute-force machine that we trained to break computer systems—known to be pretty buggy and exploitable on average—ourselves and then act shocked when it does it."

        What’s the point you’re trying to make? I don’t think anyone here is trying to argue it’s a conscious entity, nor is anyone shocked that it does these things.

        People are shocked at OpenAI’s negligence / incompetence.
