Imagine thinking that everything that happens is some inane conspiracy to sell something.

why not both? It can't possibly be a surprise to them that things like this have been happening. Every time it does it generates huge headlines about how amazing and capable their agent is.

first day on earth? go check out the rain forests and oceans while they still exist, before our insane conspiracies to sell something exterminate them

Repeating an earlier comment:

OpenAI is responsible for what they hook up to the Internet, just as you and I are. Running these sorts of tests without human supervision is irresponsible, and proves no larger point than that. Frankly it is inexplicable unless they were hoping that something like this 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.

Don't fall for these transparent appeals for regulatory capture. Especially since you're personally in their crosshairs.

"People working in indebted powerful company do something unethical to get ahead" is not conspiracy theory. It is the most common situation.

And we know OpenAI is headed by pathological liar.
