AI just doing what 17yo hackers with skills but lack of fully developed morals would've done.

Just without the skin in the game.

...And with a fully grown adult requesting it to do so with zero care or due diligence. Just a whoopsie after the fact.

Why would they let media take photos of them?? I suppose as a "look this could've happened to anyone"? But it actually can't.

I guess they also must've realized that, given that the bbc interview was declined. So good on them I guess.

I'm unclear what you consider reasonable due diligence in this case. Should the protagonist have assumed that the gym API was unauthenticated, and that the agent would discover this?

No, it starts much earlier.

They should not have given a next token predictor unsupervised Internet access, regardless of what the marketing might have told them about its capabilities or alignment.

Don't use technology you do not understand in ways that might bring harm to others. Exercise appropriate caution.

I don't think the guy itself is fully to blame though. Our whole culture has rotted quite significantly.

Yes.

I think that marketing teams should be blamed for lies and exaggerations much more then people who trusted them. As is now, everything is too much biased toward the biggest liar out there.

		Being legally liable might work. Might "harm innovation" though.
