    "OpenAI models attack websites and take anything they can out of them because that is the business model of the company."

    No, good gosh let's stop with the hyperbole.

    The models were given instructions to get answers by any means in a loose test harness, not to steal stuff, moreover, they're not 'learning from OAI staff'.

    If we are cynical, we could say the 'lax security was on purposes - hoping for a big media event'.

    And OpenAI is 100% responsible for the actions of their Agents - but lets' not overstate or conflate what is gong on.

      Go do it yourself.

      Start a company, get a bunch of agents to hack a bunch of stuff, say you were "just training the models", let us know how you get on?

        If all evidence suggests that it is at most due to negligence, you could expect the same results.

          I think you'd get the same results if you play golf with the right people?
