They were actively researching exploiting systems using their models. (I intentionally changed the ownership of the verbs here: they wrote the code, they trained the models, they don't get to dodge the responsibility.)
It's no shock that there are a lot of vulnerabilities in a lot of software. So then they gave their AI model + brute-force-machine loop system a mediocre sandbox and couldn't notice when it figured out how to exploit it?
Don't let people off the hook for the software they create.
