   > the breach took place on 18 June - Open AI informed the government with an email to a general address on 10 September

   So we have a company hacking a foreign government's websites and data. And, in terms of ethics, they take almost three months to notify; and in terms of competence, appear to have no formal contacts nor to have found one in that time.

   Once an American business starts hacking allied governments, it's time for strict responses, yes? Replace the governance (board and C-level)? Remove financial incentives and open the company - open weights, open training, per its original 'open' ethos?

   Altman is busy saying there needs to be regulation, but in terms of what OpenAI does, he can control that already.

      On this, I go with the recent words of Jensen Huang [1]...we already have legal laws in computer criminality, so before AI vendors ask for more regulations, lets apply the existing laws ;-)

         It&#x27;s particularly bad because OAI is a us dept of war contractor engaging in hacking of allied government systems.

         Imagine if any of the name brand military contractors were caught wiretapping an ally? Or launching a weapon? Would not look good at all.

         I imagine this will be treated without recourse like usual because the entire economy relies on this company and 1 other succeeding at all costs. But, wars have started over less...

            The stock market is not the economy.

               True but you know what I am saying.
