Are there technical details anywhere?
nxobject•38m ago
Beyond the breach, I think OAI deserves to answer: what and why did it access the information? Real people and their data are involved.

It looks like the PM gave Sam Altman a "tsk tsk". It will be interesting to see whether someone else tries to impose more consequences.

Just think about the shareholder value they can unlock if they have unlimited access to everyone's data!

Man I can't believe now even the Australian government is hyping the OpenAI IPO, what do they even have to gain from this??
bonsai_spool•25m ago
This feels like a very credible opening to a modern-day Terminator reboot. Sometime over the Christmas-NYE week we will learning that NYSE and other exchanges have been compromised, as well as all public-facing utilities...

hoping for erasure of all debt records

likely getting a corrupted stock market instead

maybe both?

What if the paperclip maximizer goes "if I manipulate the markets to send NVidia's share prize shooting up, I'll be able to make so many more paperclips?" After all, if swarms of agents can target a wiki, there's plenty else they can swarm.
enraged_camel•25m ago
At this point we should be asking if there's anything or anyone OpenAI's agents didn't hack.

OpenAI's display of incompetence and negligence is absolutely stunning.

amelius•20m ago
Maybe the agents operated from people's OpenClaw installations, and then OAI is not really to blame.

> He said the agent had accessed files that were publicly available as well as material that was not intended for public access.

“Not intended”. I’ll bet you whatever this was it wasn’t even secured, it was just hosted somewhere openly.

gravelc•11m ago
The fact the incident occurred in June and OpenAI only notified the Australian government on September 10 is a major issue. Hacking a nation-state's universal healthcare system is about as serious as it gets, yet OpenAI seem quite relaxed about the whole thing (presuming they have known about it for some time).
RGS1811•10m ago
We can only guess how many of these incidents actually happened.

We need to stop beating around the bush and hit these companies with severe criminal charges. There is no good reason to allow these companies to behave as if they’re above the law.
