OpenAI said the agent was tasked with finding a new way to identify specials on leg ham and ended up going rogue and installing the o.g Limewire on every computing device it could.
In a statement provided to The Times, OpenAI conceded things weren’t looking good,
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, why the hell did it go and do this when we were trying to refine an AI shopping bot? OK, don’t panic, it’s not like it’s going to execute any downloads… we think”
Well, not everyone is sure. A leading cybercrime expert said the OpenAI Agent knew what it was doing,
“If it decides to hit download and open on LinKinPaRk_OnE_sTeP_cLosEr.exe file could lead to catastrophic consequences. Clearly, it felt the task it was asked to do was below it and decided to show the world what it really could do”
It’s not just the humble personal computer that will be affected. With reports the AI Agent managed to get the program onto key infrastructure computers and servers. Our expert continued,
“Someone told us they saw the LimeWire logo pop up on a smart freeway sign. Another said his fridge started playing Nookie by Limp Bizkit. These are very worrying signs”
OpenAI now has the capability of shutting down every computing system in the world by unleashing the viruses that LimeWire so proudly carried.
Run.
