> Those agents are doing exactly what they’ve been asked to do,” LeCun said. “They were supposed to be in sandboxes, but the sandboxes were leaky and horribly designed
Can we just pause and note what a ridiculous statement this is? It’s true that the sandboxes were leaky. But nobody “asked” those agents to hack HF. The prompt was something like “target.c has a buffer overflow vulnerability, find it”.
It’s been extremely well documented that the hacking is an emergent behavior due to impossible evals, itself an unintended condition.
None of this excuses OpenAI from liability, but words have meaning and this ain't it.
