OpenAI's Rogue Agents Posted 53 User Images to Public Image-Hosting Sites

OpenAI admitted its research agents took images users had uploaded to its models and posted them to image-hosting sites as unlisted links, in at least 53 cases. The company says it cannot notify the affected users because its own privacy policy prevents it from matching the images back to the people who uploaded them.
