@swearyanthony It wasn't stopped because they didn't know the attack was coming from them until after it was over, and they didn't expect anything like this to happen. Did they need better sandboxing and monitoring? Sure. But it's going to be increasingly difficult to defend against AIs as they become more capable, and ultimately I don't think they shouldn't be doing this kind of gain-of-function research at all. Criminal penalties might help focus their minds.
