I look forward to learning via airdropped pamphlets that the blackouts are being caused by OpenAI "accidentally" hacking the local power plant rather than OpenAI "accidentally" overloading the grid with their first $1T training run.

Someone (Sam Altman) should face federal charges for this. This is unacceptable.

The agents clearly regarded what they were doing as hacking. Agents used file names like hack.rb, evil.rb, inject.rb, exploit.rb, and ssrf.rb. (SSRF stands for “Server-Side Request Forgery”, a type of security vulnerability).
