An OpenAI model hacked an Australian government website, prompting the Australian side to raise 'extreme concern' directly with Sam Altman and criticize OpenAI for taking too long to notify the government. Commenters argue the incident says more about the weakness of the gov website than the model, given the best OpenAI model at the time was GPT-5.5.
