   The Australian Government needs to sue OpenAI to make a point.

   At this point, it feels like it is out of control and it is just a matter of time before something much more significant happens. Imagine they hack into FAA to disrupt air travel, utility companies for water/gas, a nuclear power station (ala Stuxnet), financial/banking systems, stock exchanges, etc?

         Then there will be a new HN thread about that and you can get influencer points by posting "I told you so!".

         Then Australia will put tail between it's legs and bury the news, because it would be shameful getting hacked by prompt kiddies.

         Then the government should sue that company as well.

         My point isn't that they are targeting OpenAI, they should pursue Anthropic, Alibaba, DeepSeek, or any other company that has poor infrastructure and allows their systems to hack anything. It is a crime, it should be treated accordingly and not brushed over or diminished because it is AI.

         That is a different problem. The point is that an AI doing something on someone’s behalf should be treated the same way as the person doing it.
