The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

ChatGPT-maker’s AI probed federal government websites

SAN FRANCISCO — Artificial intelligence technology from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI probed U.S. government websites including the Departments of Education and Commerce, researchers said Friday, adding to the growing list of incidents in which the company’s AI agents acted without the company’s knowledge.

The company’s AI agents attempted to hack into the website for the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights but were not successful, according to a statement Friday from AI research firm Transluce. OpenAI’s software also accessed data from the U.S. Census Bureau using log-in information discovered on the web and copied public information from the Securities and Exchange Commission, a spokesperson for OpenAI said after the Transluce statement.

OpenAI said its agents acted inappropriately in the SEC and Census Bureau incidents but did not steal any private data.

The article is very reassuring. Keeps saying nothing important was disturbed. If something important was compromised, would they tell us? If an AI agent hacked DoD, would they tell us? Remember how Colossus took control of the world? It hacked into US ICBM control, then told the meatbags to do as they were told, or it would drop a nuke on them.

Think maybe I'll start hoarding cash, like I did in 2008. Just in case, someone decides the only way for meatbags to recover control of the world, is to reboot everything, or if Colossus decides to freeze banking to whip the meatbags into line.

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (We can't make it)
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no
