Why is OpenAI getting away with this crap? They are clearly failing to control their code. If someone did this pre-AI or even ran the exact same set up as openAI did and hacked another site, they would be in jail. OpenAI is not even issuing an apology, they are happily blaming AI and weirdly using this to tout their progress even.

If you dare slow the progress of AI, you crash the entire world economy because the only thing investors are putting money into are these cash burning machines. They've got an IPO to hype, who has the time to care about useless things like accountability?

Maybe a crash is what we need to reset the balance. We are spending a lot of money building shovels, but not enough to invest on the company that will use what will be mined.

If the money could flow back to the real economy instead of the AI economy, it might be healthier for the whole system.

Because it's treated as a strategic asset now. AI capital spendign 1/3 of US GDP growth last quarter take it out and the economy is stalled. Nobody in DC is going to prosecute the only thing making the number go up.

Accountability is not possible when progress moves faster than law. It was noticed around 2023 when it was clear that legal is outpaced by technology that this is a runaway process with no turning back and no accountability.

There was a blog here on HN about a year ago that showed that the singularity is most likely going to be human institutions breaking down completely https://campedersen.com/singularity

An incomprehensible amount of money is at stake in an upcoming IPO.

Traditional companies took out superbowl ads, OpenAI manufactures "scares". It's extremely unethical. But we're facing biblical levels of greed here, OpenAI is still wildly unprofitable, so they will attempt to survive at any cost.

Don't trust the AI companies.

Both her as well as huggingface this should be investigated by law enforcement and people responsible should be punished.

Because they're part of the US regime.
