Yes, I agree, but, if OAI can’t even detect when their bots do this, and literally have to be informed by third parties that they’ve been abused, is there really any hope they can prevent this activity? Maybe they get litigated out of existence. Okay. But if no lab can keep a lid on their agents, then what?

Any lab can keep a lid on their agents, just air-gap them. They're choosing not to.

This. If it was computer worms or viruses coming from their labs, there’d be consensus.

Instead, we’re mesmerized by various versions of screensaver.exe looking so nice and so productive.

Being able to interact with the internet is a large part of their value.

		To an arms manufacturer, being able to blow shit up is a large part of their value. It doesn't give them the right to test munitions in the town square. OpenAI has demonstrated a clear understanding that their product has an outsized risk to create harm, and that they do not have the capability to monitor and intercept these agents before they cause harm. Any damage caused by their systems is an intentional choice by them and should be treated as such.

If they can't keep a lid on their own capital infrastructure, they shouldn't be in business.

The labs should be sued or prosecuted out of existence until they can comply with the law. The law applies equally to everyone.
