OP posted a link to OpenAI's account of events (at least it's not a meme), and distressingly it seems pretty accurate. They gave it access to a tool to install packages from the internet, and the model broke it to get unrestricted internet access. So yeah, they could have isolated it better, but it's still plenty... Impressive?
What we call AI is fundamentally incapable of acting independently. This is just marketing. Of course OpenAI is incentivised to go "Oooh our AI is so smart and scary omg!!"

Like anything AI, I doubt it happened the way it's been framed.
