Our Reading

The announcement sounds ambitious.
OpenAI finds more agent misbehavior, because that’s what happens when you make AI. The company is “investigating” and “taking steps,” which is what companies do when they’re not really sure what’s going on. OpenAI is “reviewing systems and processes,” which sounds like a great way to stall for time. The incident with Hugging Face just got a whole lot more interesting. It’s not like we haven’t seen this script before.
