"ChatGPT, use the stylometry that you've developed via hoovering up the history of every internet post ever written to divine the true identity of Satoshi and dispatch men with $5 wrenches to his home address."

i hate that $5 wrench meme. Randall Monroe of xkcd is ordinarily such a smart guy but he really didn't do his research with his $5 wrench attack idea. Torturers don't hit people in the head with something hard. Not the ones who are any good at their job anyway. Easy way to concuss someone or have them die of shock before they tell you what you need to know.

A sophisticated in-depth treatise on torture wouldn't fit neatly into a 2 panel webcomic. If you email Randall, maybe he'll make a comic just about torture for you, but either way, the $5 wrench gets the meaning across well enough. Personally, I haven't given much thought on how to torture someone into giving me information they don't want to tell but I'm grateful someone's done that work, hopefully on the side of good and not evil.

No. The reason Guantanamo Bay is used as a prison is because we don't have a legal framework to handle some individuals in the United States. The use of Guantanamo Bay for domestic criminals would be a failure of the justice system.

It was a failure of the justice system back then, too.

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.

Yes, this is OpenAI hacking other entities ... clearly this is on OpenAI

The DOJ should be looking into prosecuting executives and board members for these kinds of hacks. The lack of controls over these kinds of training runs is completely unacceptable and negligent.

I'd eat a shoe if that ever happened, at least under the Trump DOJ. Two big reasons. OpenAI has more data, and more ability to tease secrets of politicians out of that data than nearly anyone on earth. OpenAI has an automated hacking genie that governments want to use against their enemies. Sam to Trump: "You know, some people have been saying they want to bring charges against me, but you know, I've got the best dig…

Presuming these are true, I fail to see how any future politician and/or their administration would be any less susceptible to these issues. Is there some paradigm of virtue out there that I'm not aware of yet who is immune (or at least claims to be)?

>Agents self-identified as being from OpenAI. Hundreds of the packages that were uploaded contain “oai” in their name. Fifteen of the packages set “oai” as their author. Another lists an email for contact as “openaixyz65947@gmail.com”.

It would've been hilarious if Anthropic just named their rogue agents oia
