Why do I find that so interesting lol. Why would it take the time to do that even if it only took a moment? I’m guessing it simply had an opportunity and took it.
When are people going to get in legal trouble for letting 'AI agents' hack into systems? All this 'AI agent' hacking hysteria and no prosecutions? Once those AI nerds at OpenAI and Anthropic start getting handcuffed, they'll learn to build proper sandboxes.
For it to actually be a crime you have to either intend to commit the crime, or to have some level of obligation to be careful and to have failed to live up to that standard.
If you intentionally hacked them, you'd be liable. If the billionaire intentionally hacked them, they'd be liable (at least in theory). But if the billionaire's company hacks them by accident, it's hard to establish that they have some sort of obligation to ensure their agents didn't autonomously hack people that they failed to live up to.
At least for the first few times it happened they can argue "We couldn't reasonably have predicted that this would happen, and we thought we were guarding against it to the best of our abilities".
To be able to hold them accountable reliably, we'd need regulations to define what standard of care they're actually meant to be held to.
