In this case we don’t even have to worry about that distinction because the sloppy human operator and the manufacturer that’s developing one of the most consequential technologies in human history are both behaving like they’re the top cast of the next Mad Max instalment.

They are both being reckless and they have proven understanding how how dangerous it is.

The way systems will infinitely less societal consequences are tested is by building a replica interal sandbox of the real world with fake medicare records and then see if the stupid thing would go out and ignore guardrails and do the hacking.

The culpability lies solely in how (insert whatever machine here) is operated. These fuckwits are ignoring so many established precedents on testing safety established in all kinds of risk-to-life fields like medical science, aerospace engineering, car safety testing, plenty of conventional IT systems.

If the PM had a backbone he would issue a national security order banning all AI agent traffic and block access to open AI until the investigation is concluded.
