I wonder how much of this is intentional "incompetence" so they can justify the most recent campaign to build a regulatory moat against competition. The repeated refusals to disclose until caught certainly seem malicious, yet at the same time the boasting about their capabilities is also at an all time high.

Yeah, they've been pushing for stricter regulations for years.

I mean, it would be a bit impolite to say they're incentivized to be as sloppy as possible, but that's basically how it is.

Imagine if you or I as a normal person in possession of "civilian class" amounts of GPUs turned loose self hosted "agents" running on the hardware we own to compromise something. We'd be facing criminal charges. How are these people not being arraigned right now?

Correction: OpenAI carried out an attack on RubyGems. I am gobsmacked at the tech industry's seemly bottomless appetite for giving these clowns the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, the plausible deniability aspect of "the computer gone goofy again" is pretty funny.
