And the whole blog is written in the style of "omg, and then the big bad misbehaving AI did XX." OpenAI writes like they're trying to recover from a hack that is being perpetrated against them, but it's just them, hacking themselves, because they can't just do reasonable things like actually block internet access. These guys are incompetent. And someone should get jail or massive penalties for the hacks they already perpetrated, the same as a single human hacker would have.

Also, it's worth noting that these AIs have basically zero alignment. OpenAI's approach to "alignment" seems now to be engineering constraints. "My son is really well-behaved; as long as I don't give him a gun or let him out in society, he doesn't hurt anyone."
