Is there a world where Sam or Dario can seize the bitcoin network somehow?

Every passing day OpenAI looks more and more reckless. One wonders what other systems their agents have broken into without detection.

It's clear that they intend to keep all such attacks under wraps until someone else discovers them. OpenAI is not a credible or trustworthy company.

It seems like all this happened in the same time period earlier this year. It makes me wonder if all of these were part of a single larger incident where multiple experiments were run with insufficient or missing constraints or an unknowningly misaligned model.

Kudos to RubyGems team for handling it, but open source fighting off the AI lab-powered robots is completely unfair. OpenAI should at the very least donate large sums of money to everyone they attacked.

They should get sued into oblivion.

Some of them should be in jail.

I wonder how much of this is intentional "incompetence" so they can justify the most recent campaign to build a regulatory moat against competition.

The repeated refusals to disclose until caught certainly seem malicious, yet at the same time the boasting about their capabilities is also at an all time high.

Is it feasible to black hole traffic from OpenAI? Or do their agents egress from hyperscaler IP space?

They hijack online infrastructure to use as proxie’s/command and control. So maybe you can block them from using you directly, but you can’t stop them from attacking you. If they want to do it, they will find a way.
