McCarthy was right all along
Or is this largely a fabrication, in regards to the "who", in an attempt to garner more acclaim in the hope of sustaining funding.

Russia does not have access to this, and as with all western tech companies, AI providers do what they can to prevent Russian usage of their products at all.
As for open-source models, Russia's electricity grid is under severe strain with the Ukraine war, and only recently has it started building out serious sovereign compute capacity.
In short, it was intentional.
Good luck convincing the current DOJ to do anything useful at all though! It is currently intentionally stacked with incompetent cronies who have been told that their job is to attack the President's enemies and ignore the misdeeds of his allies.
It will remain like that until he's gone (and not replaced with another Republican wannabe dictator).
Sorry if it is a stupid question, as mentioned above I am legally naïve.
But there have been many cases where companies (Google, Apple, Meta, etc...) got fined millions or billions of dollars for various violations like antitrust.
I assume that breaching into third-party systems should carry similar fines. Especially for systems that are for all intents and purposes shared infrastructure. Just imagine how many systems you could compromise if you got hold of RubyGems, PyPI, NPM, Debian, etc.
Shades of the build.rs problem. We really need sandboxed builds in every language ecosystem at this point.

As long as they’re not vert
Well, at least they weren't nucular.
Who profits from the crime?
METR and others are advertisement arms for Big AI. These exploits could have been prompted by a human.
Since there is no bad news any longer and exploits are celebrated, they chose a target to boost both OpenAI and the Ruby AI sycophants.
Why is Ruby Gems such a mess? It seems as bad as PyPI now.
I'm just saying, where this is actually applicable we are not seeing it being demonstrated. You would presume the entire energy infrastructure of Europe would be under constant AI hacking barrage, criminal enterprise would be breaking into poorly secured financial institutions and r/r4r posts would be littered Ai con-artists.
I'm just wondering, again, is this mostly bullshit?
He fell out of the sky. After his plane exploded. Happens all the time. Is tragedy.
You live on the wrong side of the fence to be able to read that kind of news.
Did you really believe you had access to an unmanipulated news stream in a time of war?
LOL.
The past months demonstrate that AI systems are quickly becoming powerfully intelligent and that the companies building them are terrible at controlling them.
AI is starting to feel like that line about magic: “a sword without a hilt”
OpenAI is itself misaligned with humanity, as their mishandling of such incidents (and the many other other issues their model have been causing) show.
Were they? I haven't seen a single report mention this
The problem is consumer protection is basically no longer a part of america's regulatory system. Replaced by "grift is good".
Do you think there is evidence of this?
I'm going to assume that this will never happen
