    I guess expert+chatgpt beats chatgpt alone, so why not hire top experts to drive the search?

    But zero evidence provided that this was an unsupervised agent attack. I still find it incredible that a company who protect their IP so much would allow these dangerous experiment…

    If it's true that they run agents like this unsupervised, it is only a matter of time before an openai agent leaks its model weights.

    Unless openai release the logs we have only their word that this was done fully autonomously and without their knowledge by an agent running their newest super powerful model. For …

    Aaron Schwartz was being prosecuted and threatened with 35 years in jail for the crime of saving research papers to a thumb drive. What damage did he cause?
