    “Investigation reveals that many people think using an automated system to commit cyber crime some how absolves them of responsibility.”

    “Yah but the non deterministic system just did that all on it’s own… after i told it to do exactly that… and gave it a connection to the internet through which to do it.”

    “Anthropic is getting all the news cycles about their agents breaching containment*, quick let’s leak some more stories too!” - Sam Altman probably

    * there was no containment to breach, the chatbots had full internet access to begin with
