It seems like what happened here is a user asked for some information about the Australian health system, and while performing a web search, the agent from OpenAI accessed information that should have been confidential or privileged but was somewhere openly accessible...

I've got the feeling that the definition of "hacked" can get somewhat stretched.

I am certain there would be better guardrails if there were some actual consequences for the people who built these products.

I get the feeling governments are going to really crack down hard on AI.<p>And the AI CEO's will have brought it on themselves.

No consequences so the behaviour will worsen.
