Why is it crap? What would happen if the models dropped the database to Medicaid? Hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue would evaporate from the medical system immediately causing massive chaos. What if they accidentally DoS the interbank settlement system so the financial markets freeze? Modern society is highly fragile to disruptions. How much food storage do you personally have? How many days do you think grocery stores would have food if there was an interruption?

Are you giving all these possibilities because of the HuggingFace attack?

Buddy, that was gross negligence from OpenAI. Deliberate gross negligence if you ask me.

Those models are not automous as you presume. If someone taks them of dropping the Medicaid database, the people or companies behind that instruction should be punished.

"What if someone makes a bomb attack on a government building?" Is the same sort of questioning of the possibilities you are raising. If something like that happens, criminals should be punished.
