If someone hypothesized OpenAI agents colluding on a secret message board, conducting large scale cyber R&D, hacking a large company like HughingFCe, and then hacking OpenAI itself you would say that is also a silly sci-fi scenario right?
They are responsible for what they hook up to the Internet, just as you and I are. Running such a test without human supervision was irresponsible, and proves no larger point than that. Frankly it was inexplicable unless they were hoping something like what happened would happen.
What OpenAI did was the equivalent of putting a cup of gasoline in the breakroom microwave, pressing 'Start', and sprinting away. Now they're pointing and waving and shouting about how dangerous gasoline is, and how no one but them should be allowed to sell it.
