    Exactly this. At worst, OpenAI knew about these behaviors and should be prosecuted under CFAA. At best, OpenAI is negligent and should be prosecuted for negligence.

    Luckily there are states and legal departments pursuing such action. So while OpenAI can deflect as much as it wants, that doesn't mean there aren't people who know better and will still do what is necessary to set precedent.

      I feel like this will just never happen on a federal level when these private AI companies account for so much of the economy. They've made themselves too big to fail. Fining / Punishing them in any meaningful way seems unlikely.

        I don't understand why the law isn't the same for everyone? If I made an AI hack HF, I go to jail, no? How can the feds decide not to apply the law?

          Because the ones with power simply choose not to exercise it, and the systems that are supposed to prevent this were broken decades ago.

          There have been forces inside the USA trying to steadily dismantle democracy and constitutional safeguards for nearly a century.
