Do you work for one of these companies? If not, you have no experience with any of the models that carried out these attacks, and your experience with publicly available models is not super helpful for understanding the behavior of internal OpenAI models that lack the guardrails of publicly available models.

Also, the lawnmower analogy is a worse way of understanding LLMs than anthropomorphising them. LLMs are not like lawnmowers at all. Lawnmowers never break out of your garden and into your neighbor's house and eat their dog because you've told them to be careful when mowing the lawn because the neighbor's dog pooped in it.
