That didn’t happen. But I bet someone’s very embarrassed to admit their mistake. “It was a rogue agent!!”

    Why not both? Easy enough to footgun yourself with a bad prompt (because they're far from safe) then (somewhat justifiably) blame the LLM (that shouldn't have had that much access).

    There’s only one way the agent got that level of access, and there’s nothing “rogue” about it.

    The intent of this story as I read it is to scare the readership into the ploy that the big players need regulation - and the subtext there is to keep out the small players so that the incumbents can have a mono/duopoly.

    I didn't read and won't read slop articles about slop outcomes, but I find very ironic what you say, after the latest marketing campaigns by the 2 or something biggest "influencers" in the ai space saying things for attention such as:

    • I'm not incompetent, but we must be careful or that book from 50 years ago will turn true and AI will kill us all!!

    • I'm not incompetent, but AI is sooooooooo such very much smarter than me that I put it in a crib and it jumped out with a back flip and in the process hacked 5 companies

    Meh, the scary in its various forms is IMO marketing and a distraction to try to make it to IPO without having to admit LLMs are failing to scale as hyped (looking less likely all the time). Regulation would have to be worldwide to stop open weights models eating their lunch and the US just doesn't have that pull any more.
