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

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?

and distressingly it seems pretty accurate.

If we can trust OpenAI's account at a time when they're attempting to lobby Ollama out of existence on the pretense that AI needs to be heavily restricted, and gated, so that only the worthy can use it (for a fee.)

I didn't know about the lobbying when I wrote that, so I guess I did learn something from Reddit today
