Seems like OpenAI should be shut down by regulators until they can figure out how to stop launching cyberattacks on rivals.
This will not happen though, because these stories are marketing.

Agreed.

Regulators should investigate the stories, and shut things down if they are real, announce the ruse if they are false.
As you said though, that wouldn’t have the desired effect.
One of the key strengths agents have is they just keep going and going, and for cyberattacks that is often unreasonably effective. It is like a barely more aware fuzzing.
Asking a agent harness to try whatever it wants to achieve some results, without guardrails, while running in lightweight isolation on 3rd party infrastructure? Feels like they didn't even try, people should be held responsible for this.
The magnitude and the complexity of the cynicism displayed by some people when it comes to AI risks is mind-blowing.
It's like if the NRA reported on school shootings and people said "oh, they probably fake these shootings to make guns sound dangerous and sell more of them".
OpenAI could report that its AI started spontaneously generating illegal porn and sending it to people and you'd still think it was a marketing stunt.
This is based on similar thinking to how the world would not have considered nuclear weapons a major threat if they had forever stayed unused.
The irony of the doomer position is it achieves exactly their supposed nightmare scenario of disaster leading to authoritarian world government without any of the supposed benefits, the twist being they get to be the authoritarian world government so they are ok with it.
Sandboxing processes on networks is not exactly rocket science, and it is something their existing products would readily help them setup.
Extraordinary claims need extraordinary measures.
If it’s rubbish those stories will stop instantly.
Yeah, I don't understand either. If there was a "hitman for hire" service on the clearweb, the police would shut it down first, then ask questions. Now we have a huge company effectively letting AI agents without guardrails run amok on 3rd party infrastructure, and the police is doing nothing?
