AI agents aren't 'going rogue.' Frontier labs are skipping security basics

If we say that AI models can’t go rogue and refrain from using any language that personifies them, we haven’t solved anything. We still have AI systems going rogue - err oh wait they can’t do that - producing misaligned output.

The semantic difference between an agent "going rogue", and a script that generates random valid curl requests is essentially pointless in the eyes of the law and responsibility.

From a technical standpoint, the difference is scale and intent, but ultimately people and/or and organization are culpable for the output.

Again, this isn't always how it works either. For example if a set of extraordinary conditions occur you can have little to no liability in many cases. It is way more complex than you're making it out to be.

I don’t know what your “again” is about - you haven’t been speaking to me here, but no, it’s quite simple and every major court case in the US has ruled as I described based on existing law.

It is not more complex in “many cases” at all.
