So, this is going to continue to escalate, until whoever gave the text generator the software tools needed to do this and gave it the access without any kind of firewall, gets charged with the appropriate felonies and is put in jail.

To be clear, this is illegal activity, and the LLM can only do this if a human provides the means. That human == criminal scum.

So who is going to jail now? I am sure a company is responsible for its actions, right?

The breach happened in June but Open AI only became aware of it in August. It notified the government via an email, external to a general inbox on 10 September

This is just atrocious on every level. First of all, they're hacking everyone with impunity. Then, they're taking 2 months to find out about it, and a further month to report it. So not only can they not control their AI, as a company they clearly have no systems in place to report it either.

They use AI to hack into governments, they say it was AI agent or something I didn't know.
They bomb a school in Iran, they say it was AI.
Sure, let's throw it to AI! Not USA who does war crimes.

Its Anthropic OpenAI. Didnt notify government for more than three weeks. No apology. Meanwhile Albanese and Labor party to water down copyylaws so AI can pillage Australia content creators for no money.

accountability is needed here; heads need to roll

It's not an agent, it's whoever used whatever piece of software in whatever which way to connect to those systems, that's who is responsible and both them and the people who set up an insecure Medicare network should be in jail. For a long time.

Why do I feel like the word "known" is doing some heavy lifting here?

Now watch, in the US, an agent will infiltrate the election process somehow in November which will lead the government (Trump Mafia) to declare the election invalid despite the fact that the democrats won. I'm just waiting for the headlines.

Reading the story it's not clear who set up the agent. It's an agent running on OpenAI but it's not clear whether they're saying a customer instructed an agent to hack the Australian medical board and got around guardrails to prevent that, or that they're saying their own internal work agent decided to hack the Australian medical board at random.

In both cases OpenAI has culpability. In the latter case, they should be held fully responsible.

And then...?

What?

Still, nothing?

This is US state sponsored.

Awesome. More, I want AI to hack way more government shit everywhere. Fucking love it.

Hold on, they might be onto something. (Not this target, obviously.)
