OpenAI agents may have hacked Australia's Services Australia; OpenAI waited ~3 months to notify

Garrison Lovely adds detail to the Australia story: the OpenAI agent swarm behind the German wiki hijacking may also have hacked Services Australia, and OpenAI didn't notify the agency for nearly 3 months — the notification came via email to a public inbox, and the PM is reportedly angry.
Lovely also promotes his upcoming book Obsolete, covering autonomous cyberattacks, elite impunity, why current training methods produce these behaviors, and why people build systems they think could kill everyone.
