No air gap, no data diodes, no visibility... OpenAI should fire lots of people over this. HF should sue them. This is pure negligence.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act criminalizes unauthorized access and damaging protected computers. Police and the FBI investigate such case every day. The swarm of agents is also said to have search for ways to cover their tracks, which looks a little like obstruction of justice.
Lack of criminal intent might be a barrier to bringing a case to trial, but is that something that society should just automatically extend to white collar professionals as matter of class privilege?
Surely have every engineer and executive interviewed by the FBI would be a modest response to days-long, multi-system intrusion into a major AI platform using stolen credentials and zero-days.
And if the law currently written, prevents prosecution in cases of mere reckless disregard for safety, maybe that needs to be changed in the future, so that people can be perp walked if the next target is bank or hospital
Biggest investment boom/bubble in history, political interference, untested legal questions about culpability.
A computer under control of an AI cannot be held liable. The lack of a law suit also leaves no ground for regulation.
The current admiration also wants these tools - warts and all - so nothing can be allowed to stall the progress of these war machines.
Helen Toner in particular I'll highlight as someone who had the moral compass to do the right thing. I love her statement on the Ezra Klein podcast where she said, when asked about the fact that there are probably other concerning incidents we just don't know about, "If you see two ants in your kitchen, you don't have a two ant problem."
A data diode with an air-gapped network, is all you need to stop even ASI from breaching containment.
--provided the humans interacting with it aren't stupidHF, like the Nvidia subsidiary?
