_**In a statement published today, OpenAI said it had historically treated model misalignment as a research issue, with findings communicated through research papers and system cards.

The company said it considered the wiki activity another example of "misalignment" similar to behaviors it had previously discussed, rather than an incident requiring a dedicated public disclosure.

OpenAI's own wording suggests a wider footprint than the researchers documented, describing the episode as one "where our agents wrote to several internet sites."**_

Don't you just love the unaccountably.

"rogue"

If nobody receives a criminal conviction for illegal hacking, then there was no hacking.

So pick one. Is it illegal hacking? Or is it marketing? You can't choose both.

Imagine how many bots run rogue we'll never know about, because it's not a big company and just some AI simp running this on their own machine.

The internet is dead. What on earth will we do about it?!?
