I rarely notice usernames on HN, but after reading this comment it was so easy to guess that the classy contribution on another comment about legal liability was also yours.

And you are right again! The Australian government must compensate OpenAI for having shitty security.

It must be a bliss to transact with you in real life!

Honestly I’d expect my government to secure sensitive data to a higher standard than I’d expect a random company motivated only by profit to. We should have an expectation of both sides to do better. Do you disagree?

  • You are correct, but the regulatory and liability issue regarding AI is one issue and the government’s liability for having insecure systems is another.

    They are independent concerns. A discussion about the first issue is not enhanced by the interjection of the second.

    • You can discuss two things at once. Especially if they are inherently related. Australia fining OpenAI a large amount of money and using that to audit and harden their systems would be a good outcome here, for example.

      Too many people are making inane fantasy level comments that Sam and his employees should be jailed, and conspiracy theories that he did it on purpose to get regulated because he’s out of runway. That’s boring and repeated ad nauseam every time the topic comes up.
