Correction: OpenAI carried out an attack on RubyGems.

I am gobsmacked at the tech industry's seemly bottomless appetite for giving these clowns the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, the plausible deniability aspect of "the computer gone goofy again" is pretty funny.

September 2029: Whoops, our sentient nukes did a funny again!

I think it's more likely they want to call attention to the fact it was the result of agents, rather than shift blame.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that OpenAI is liable for the software they create and run.

Hard agree. The entire tech media is acting insanely gullible in this regard. It's insane.

Sam Altman and the rest of the OAI board should be charged with violating the CFAA for this action.

Tort law.

This article is RubyGems pointing fingers at OpenAI, not OpenAI taking responsibility for anything. We don't know what really happened from what I can tell.
