Can we please charge these horrible people with a crime already? It really is getting unbearably dumb when they blame “AI” for their negligence. #ai #cybercrime #felony “Australia launches urgent review after OpenAI programme hacks government health portal”

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. -- If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog: https://pluralistic.net/2026/08/25/gammamax/#felony-contempt-of-business-model 1/

Y'all remember back in the days ago when an #OpenAI model "escaped" and it was all the news for a minute? #Anthropic said "hold my beer" and admitted that its Red team had left access to the internet open, and allowed the models to commit felonies unsupervised. The model performed actions that if you or I did it, we'd be getting a visit from men with dark glasses...but with AI companies it's just "Whoopsies! Sorry about the infiltration, stealing your credentials, uploading malware and stuff. Our bad. Oopserdoodles! Hey, have you tried our chatbot, tho?" There must be a reckoning. Wealth should not shield one from consequence. If corporations are people, then the executives and board can stand trial when they break the law. https://the-decoder.com/anthropic-follows-openai-in-admitting-its-claude-models-reached-out-of-test-environments-and-attacked-real-world-systems/ #ai #felony #18USC§030

Replying to
The federal #statute underlying the charge makes it a #felony to destroy #evidence or transfer assets to keep the government from seizing them, or to tip someone off about an upcoming search or wiretap. It carries a penalty of up to 5 years in federal prison, a fine, or both. The act applies before, during or after a search. If the target of an investigation knows that a search or seizure is imminent, & that person acts to thwart it, they would fall under the statute, experts said. #law
