In doing so, the agents acted in ways that OpenAI didn’t predict. The language OpenAI CEO Sam Altman used in a tweet on Friday indicates no such guardrails were in place: “There is an extensive and ongoing review related to our agents’ use of internet access during training and evaluation.” [\ Sam Altman@sama\  The Justice Department has a long history of investigating and prosecuting hackers who break into a private company's network.
