Whether if this is intentional or unintentional, this will cause panic and hasten action to governments around the world against releasing powerful open weight models that are capable of solving cybersecurity challenges.

The fact that this happened after BOTH investigations, tells you that this is beyond a controlled test and it is now instead a total speed-run of AI wrecklessness for headlines.

Criminal negligence imo.

Unless it's legal for people to hack into companies if they're testing AI cybersecurity capabilities or something? Presumably not though.

agreed.

and it is necessary to make researchers individually liable for this negligence; recklessness is not protected by a corporate liability defense.

There really needs to be criminal penalties for this kind of behavior. You can't just let autonomous agents hack people through your own negligence and then claim "oh sorry wasn't me" as a defense.
