If I was caught trying to exploit a government site I'd be in trouble. Why no one is knocking the doors of these companies?

Interesting question; CFAA requires intent.

It seems to me that no human intended for these hacks to occur. So they were not illegal hacking. (IANAL, please correct me if this is inaccurate.)

I think it’s clear that OpenAI is liable for any damages, but the way that the (very broad and at times vague) anti hacking laws are written, accidental agent hacks seem to not be covered.

Because you're a pleb in a corrupt world.
