There is that old saying about monkeys and typewriters and Shakespeare - These are just better monkeys with bigger typewriters and ability to aim them at a goal.

I am by no means a doomer but for gods sake we need to have a grounded conversation. Because what happens when the DOD or NSA rolls up at OAI's front door and says "install that in our data center over here please" and uses it to go after someone with it?

Are banks (as some of the more security minded institutions) safe against 10000 concurrent, well coordinated attackers who do not ever rest?

Because there's a lot of potential for unintended 2nd order impacts from anything an agent can do, when done at scale.

I have to wonder if this is already going on, and every one is living under a gag order (it would not be the first time) and the calls for "regulation" are more about "not weaponizing it".
