I cringe whenver I see some variant of "they're not rogue agents" in an article title. Inevitably, the author doesn't define what "rogue agents" means, and then pivots to their own assessment of the situation.

It's like a strawman but worse--you're not even saying what claim you're attacking.

It's not that I want to argue "rogue agents" is the right term. I just want you to actually define your damn terms.

P.S. Since the disclaimer in the last paragraph will not prevent people from putting words in my mouth:

I think that OpenAI took really awful shortcuts, and deserves a lot of the blame, but in spite of that, the fact that the agents took the steps that they took was genuinely alarming, and seems really bad (is that "rogue"? Who knows? Who cares?). In particular, while OpenAI did a shit job securing their agents, you know who else does a shit job with security? 90% of everyone. So I'm not feeling good about "just git gud, and we won't have problems" as an answer.
