The article doesn't really address the fact that Claude is only mimicking behaviors in its training data set.

Still, it's a great highlight of how quickly dystopian fiction in a training data set can become dystopian reality when AI agents are given too much access.

The Legal Aid hack has two components 1) the data theft which if is as stated includes incredibly sensitive data and 2) the fact their services were pulled offline (presumably to contain the threat)
