> Nothing about the HuggingFace incident has anything to do with an agent going rogue. It’s standard software that resulted in a hack, which is pretty much the expected output of the system OpenAI engineers implemented.
This is blatantly false. If you actually read more than just headlines about the HuggingFace incident (read https://metr.org/blog/2026-08-26-openai-hugging-face-inciden...) you'd find extremely surprising (including offensive) behaviors in the agent logs. One of the investigators released even a series of interviews due to how novel the incident was.
AI is not "standard software", as it doesn't work according to a fixed set of rules, and this is the core problem.
According to the definition of "rogue":
> Rogue is a noun and adjective meaning [...] an independent entity operating in a dangerous, uncontrolled way
the agents involved fit it literally.
