Huh? The wiki incident was discovered by independent investigators. OpenAI tried to cover it up and disputed the account from Reuters.

And the reason it is receiving so much attention is because not only is the technology being developed behaving in unanticipated ways that are very much not tool-like, but OpenAI is being completely reckless and not monitoring internal agent actions.

What would convince you that it is not a ploy for investment? What if the ongoing investigation by the coalition of state attorneys general were to prosecute the firm, or beyond that, it was shut down or broken up after enough popular backlash?
