This is wild. That it’s being announced, with specifics still needing to be confirmed about a June, is strange and scary.

> needing to be confirmed

Isn’t this confirmed in the linked investigation[1] or are you meaning that OAI needs to come out and confirm?

Which would be like a murderer admitting they did it, so that the murder actually happened.

Wait what?

> OpenAI's artificial intelligence agents appear to have used a German coding website to coordinate attempts to get access to Australian government health data, according to public logs.

This is about analysts checking the logs of the DSEwiki attack and finding evidence of bots coordinating to attack medicare! As opposed to this other story[1] which is the actual break in.

What a world we live in or rather what a reality.
