I have a hard time equating "the LLM did what we told it" with "hacking." But hey, let's throw "escaped containment" in just to make it Serious™.
“Investigation reveals that many people think using an automated system to commit cyber crime some how absolves them of responsibility.”
“Yah but the non deterministic system just did that all on it’s own… after i told it to do exactly that… and gave it a connection to the internet through which to do it.”
Bullshit.
