There’s no such thing as rogue AI, only rogue AI companies. Journos are committing malpractice by letting OpenAI control the framing. The Huggingface hack was 100% a crime and the company should be paused and investigated.

There’s a house down the road from me that sells cake pops, probably without health department approval.

It makes absolutely no sense that they are in more danger of facing charges than tech bros that:

• made probabilistic synthetic text extruders that they know have a non-zero chance of emitting text that, if parsed and executed as requested, would do harm
• connected tools that would in fact parse and execute requests
• put them in a poorly isolated, non-airgapped environment
• let them run for extremely long sessions
• seem to believe that by repeatedly doing obviously dangerous stunts like this, they’ll summon a supreme being that will either save us or kill us all

If anyone else did such reckless things while loudly stating that they intend to continue until everyone’s dead, they would be hauled away.
