Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Seems like another case of “we asked an AI to get the answers for this task, so it hacked something to find said answers”
Too anthropomorphised.
We ran software that generates code associated with a particular task, in an environment that executes that code and can feed it's outputs back into the software. We configured the environment to be open to the net at large, and ran the software with no oversight and without adequate security to prevent the running of malicious code.
This isn't some sinister electric god with no morals, it's strapping circular saws to a roomba and setting it loose in a shopping centre.
