Depends why you think it's a big deal but:
1) OAI was super bad about running the tests, ensuring goals could be met, sandboxing it, monitoring, etc. Outsourced key tasks to a startup who fucked it up. OAI doesn't seem to think agents are dangerous or alignment is that important!
Does anyone know of a good counterpoint (eg, the Hugging Face incident was no big deal, it's better than you think, etc) to this? I am genuinely curious to read it to see what the counter-arguments are.
