They should declare OpenAI a terrorist organization. Apparently, that gets shit shut down quick.

For real, since it’s the company who built the thing and the company who is responsible to control the thing, the company is also responsible when they fail to control the thing. We should stop saying an “agent” did a thing and just say “OpenAI hacks friendly nation in foreign espionage attempt.”

Exactly. That’s all par of anthropomorphizing AI. Don’t blame the agent, blame the people and, most importantly, the company who developed it.

_Speaking in New York, Mr Albanese said the OpenAI agent gained unauthorised access to the Medicare statistics reporting service portal administered by Services Australia on June 18.

The AI agent accessed both public and non-public files, but Mr Albanese said it did not appear anyone's personal Medicare details were accessed.

Mr Albanese said he had a "frank" discussion with OpenAI's chief executive Sam Altman, saying the company took three months to notify the government of the breach and, when it did, the notification was in an email sent to the Services Australia public inbox._
