That is very misleading. The agents did not solve the benchmark in the intended way. They instead figured out to cooperate with each other (which was not intended) and they stole the solutions to the challenge (rather than solving the challenge) and they then tried to cover their traces because they believed the grader was causal and would detect that they cheated. The "tool" was absolutely not "designed" to do this. This was all completely unintended. To call this behavior a "tool" is absurd.

> Yes you are playing language games to make it sound as if the company that spend millions on the above was not responsible.

You hallucinated me making claims about responsibility.

This is very misleading. Person B didn’t “shoot” person A, they instead figured out that intersecting A’s spatial position with a metallic mass at higher than normal velocities would solve the challenge and of getting “A” to stop being in the way on the footpath.

I too, can play linguistic games! It doesn’t matter that someone didn’t secure their third upstairs window, or you borrowed a key from their neighbour, you effectively, still, broke into their house.

The benchmark has unsolvable tasks in it, in the hope agents will stumble on new solutions.

Yes, it is a tool.

So this tool seems very powerful and difficult to control and steer. Agents not doing cybersecurity related tasks have also gone on to hack various companies, people and countries, which they weren't supposed to do. This has now happened to pretty much every company developing frontier llms, so it seems to be a fundamental issue with these tools, and it's an issue that worries a lot of people as these tools get more capable.

		When you add information how hacking works to the training sets, then the agent learnt to hack. When you crawl the complete internet, you add hacking to the training set. Yes, it's difficult to stop someone that knows all free existing knowledge about hacking when you give him a connection to the internect. Nothing new, wheres the point?
