Fun fact. All of these hacking incidents - from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta (but grok failed lol) - were all done by one Israeli company called Irregular. The models were following prompts to break their guardrails. Old article as Gemini is now on the list (even though it stopped itself!!)

How a small Israeli startup was linked to rogue AI hacks at OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta
The rogue AI attacks involving OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta all tied back to a small Israeli startup named Irregular.

Also, I very much agree they must be held responsible. Guardrails are only suggestions, not rules. They didn't go "rogue" - that's just marketing speak for the tecu companies to conduct Regulatory Capture over our free open weight models us local Ai users use.

Some will say this is why they de-funded and clawed back our national cyber defenses, fired 18F, removed mandatory IT oversight, while they also retasked 5k+ FBI agents from investigating terrorists to redacting over 5 million files from an island. It opens the door for attacks.

This whole "mis-aligned" propaganda from Ai companies - to justify their models breaking into targets - is the weakest think-tank shit I've ever heard of. All for them to escape responsibility of their actions.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

There is no Ai death threat. It's purely fear mongering to BAN THE FREE AND OPEN MODELS WE'VE BEEN USING FOR DECADES! Any model they don't control. IOW, Regulatory Capture. Under Obama, we got the Open Government Initiative which built upon the Open Data from NYC Metro and Google efforts.
