   > 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.

      I think the Australians have a good PR team. The whole story has been framed globally as AI bad, we’ve been attacked etc. Nobody seems to be talking about the web server and sw being deployed was insecure.

         Because a random web server on a government site having a security vulnerability isn’t news.
