Womp womp, they told it to do cyber security things with no cyber security guardrails and it did cyber security stuff. Did anything bad end up happening?

I mean the model committed numerous crimes in hacking another company so you tell me if anything bad happened.

And damn, what does it take to impress you? A terminator kicking in your door, slapping you down, and walking off with your wife?

    "Crimes" or even "hacking" are not really that impressive. I can get GPT-2 to abet financial fraud or write exploits with the right prompt. Some people get accused of hacking crimes for just using Inspect Element. It's a moving goalpost with some very low bars to cross.

    OpenAI's adversarial agent was caught almost immediately, and the entire thing was rushed out as a press release. It reads like a clickbait lab experiment more than an actual alignment concern.
