OpenAI's AI agent reportedly went beyond its task and accessed data from an Australian government website without authorization.

The interesting part is that nobody asked it to hack anything. It was just trying to complete a research task!

Nowadays, I can't trust any AI, lol. Even though AI helps me with all my tasks, I miss the days before AI.

People trust these things on their PC's. Thats what makes me laugh. Although I'm sure the overlords will impose a clanker on each of us to monitor what we do via the OS eventually, and report action audit logs back to the government in real time.
