that the hack hasn't kind of resulted in a load of super sensitive data being exfiltrated by these agents.
The thing that's really concerning is the kind of process around it, the delay, the fact that it shows the potential of these agents and the fact that they're really not being supervised in a way that they should be, one would imagine.

Yeah, well, they clearly have been happening.
And the Hugging Face incident, the one that also happened over the summer, that was another example of...
So that was also OpenAI agents that were in training that compromised a private company called Hugging Face, a tech company, and operated inside of its system.
And again, OpenAI didn't immediately know that that was happening.
And, you know, that emerged later and that became the kind of catalyst for the recent sort of worldwide concern about, you know, the potential catastrophic risks for AI poses.
And it's also kind of sparked a debate about,
who's accountable for an agent going rogue.
And the Albanese has said that this, in this case in Australia, they're considering referring it to the federal police and has said that, and I quote, there will obviously be legal consequences.
and,
You can't help but think that here is essentially a company testing a product that has gone out and committed potentially a criminal offense.
And the idea that this is just part of the kind of natural evolution of AI and we're all going to have to roll with it.
and live with the ups and downs of it as these tech companies experiment is something that the public and politicians just aren't going to accept.
Yeah, these are really good questions.
I mean, they have been saying for some time now that they want to have kind of national regulation within the US, which would essentially kind of require the kind of most advanced models to be sort of tested and checked.
Now, the thinking there seems to be that if there's a national regulator, then it provides a kind of the responsibility for the safety of these things.
Then could that lie with the national regulator?
And this is why they talk about regulatory capture, which is that if AI companies have to reach a certain threshold of safety in order to release their models, then there's cost associated with that.
