You have to ask: "What was the prompt that led to AI deciding to hack RubyGems in order to achieve its goal?"
Maybe I'm just not seeing the 2000 step chain that led to this being a logical approach to achieving something innocent, but I doubt it.
They lost control long ago.

Wait until OpenAI or Anthropic exploit FAANG.
There are circus lions in circuses trained to jump through hoops on command. But once in a while they decide to eat their trainers instead of jumping.
This is a terrible analogy, because yes you absolutely do hold the trainers criminally liable when they bite somebody else's face.
A circus lion biting somebody's face is legally different than a circus lion trained or instructed to bite somebody's face.
The trainer who trained the lion to kill will probably be in jail for life. The one who happened to oversee a lion that went rouge would probably be given probation or something else that is a slap on the wrist.
It would be great if they were so reliable, but I don't think they are!
Who gives a shit? Not my circus; not my monkeys! It's the responsibility of whoever deploys the agents that they are instructed / sandboxed well enough that they can't cause collateral damage. That is the only way this doesn't get out of hand with everybody deploying their agents / robots for a world of utter chaos.
It is impossible (and asinine) to audit every model and deployment; far better to impose liability and the the socio-legal system figure it out.
Knee-jerk surface analyses is far more powerful.
Were they? I haven't seen a single report mention this
The past months demonstrate that AI systems are quickly becoming powerfully intelligent and that the companies building them are terrible at controlling them.
AI is starting to feel like that line about magic: “a sword without a hilt”
OpenAI is itself misaligned with humanity, as their mishandling of such incidents (and the many other other issues their model have been causing) shows.
Agreed that this looks very intention to me as well.
The problem is consumer protection is basically no longer a part of america's regulatory system. Replaced by "grift is good".
