Does Georgism work? Five years later
I’ve followed the authors work for years and one important aspect to land reform is there is some people with a such a strong status quo bias that they can’t be reasoned with. If someone truly believes land use should never change they will just oscillate between arguments that are not coherent or well intentioned. So the author is right that at a certain point you should disengage with these types and focus on racking up real world wins.

An agent used DNS to reach an external chatbot
It's pretty impressive how thoroughly incompetent is OpenAI designing secure systems. But surely this is circumscribed to agent security. In no way are all my chat logs in some Russian forum. BRB, I'm going to delete something before it also ends in Chinese forums.

I think a "Information wants to be free" person would be fine criticizing companies for doing this, while still being morally consistent. It would be an entirely different story if OpenAI was indeed open and the resulting model was available for all. The issue comes when taking information you haven't paid for, and then locking it into a machine you charge for.

> a longstanding and well documented skepticism towards the concept of intellectual property in general. “Information wants to be free” and all that. Despite it's lofty rhetoric, OpenAI is neither free as in beer nor free as in speech. It is a gang of profit-motivated thieves. Efforts to pirate others works in order to personally profit is the antithesis of the "hacker community" approach to IP. (OpenAI appears to get quite upset when their own work is treated as they have treated everyone else's.[1]) 1. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2026/02/13/openai-alleges-china...

Go hack OpenAI/Anthropic and free the models! It should be easy, they have no security.

The Surprising Reasons China Is Skeptical of A.I. Safety Calls
This article makes a good point. If you make the company itself have culpability for what it’s “rogue” agents do then you solve a lot of the problems. Tech executives might not care about humanity but they probably care about themselves. If the CEO of OpenAI is as legally responsible for what OpenAI’s software does in the same manner that Sam Bankman-Fried was responsible…I suspect many AI companies would not be so cavalier about letting their models do dangerous things.

> My understanding is that HN has millions of visitors who never log in, many of whom are highly educated individuals in positions of influence. In my experience this sense of influence is hugely over-inflated here on HN compared to reality. And let’s be clear about what the linked article says: one researcher at OpenAI referenced HN as an example of a place where a negative story could surface. Am I surprised that a researcher at OpenAI is familiar with HN? No, obviously not, that career path is right in HN’s typical audience.

OpenAI just needs a nice fat fine each time this happens. Then we will see if they still keep 'going rogue'

Hardened VMs with no network devices and a serial console talking to it. There are so so so so many ways to do this. Anyone that built ISPs in the 90s can tell you this. Anyone that has built homelabs from scratch can. It is not that hard. It ain't easy. But it is not that hard. At. All. In fact, openai have https://github.com/openai/tart that can easily be adapted to more secure scenarios than whatever the f they are using atm.

No, I think the overwhelming majority of copyrighted material should already be public domain. We should all be free to build on it as we wish. I don't begrudge OpenAI et al. for doing it at all. I begrudge copyright lobbyists for pushing for the rest of us to be unable to do the same. Because my position is consistent instead of being based on whether I like someone. If it takes giant AI companies to show the extreme economic loss caused by maintaining the copyright farce, and to make it clear that we simply cannot continue to do so or we risk becoming economic vassals, then good. Them flouting the law is a good step toward reforming or dismantling it. Aside: "it's fine if you're an individual but not if you're large" in this case sounds awfully self-serving. If you truly believe it's "t…

LLMs did not download TBs of pirated books, people did. Effective LLM models that did not rely upon pirated content to be trained are commonplace. So call OpenAI "plagiarizers" but not the "devices".

Cool: an individual ignoring IP for their own purposes or individuals sharing things they own with others Cringe: Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Meta doing the same None of the later should get to claim 'But we're hackers!' from an ethical standpoint. They aren't -- they're shareholder-benefiting for-profit corporations (OpenAI obviously included).

That's why all of this marketing about agents going rogue is so unbelievable. The only way for a tool to escape a sandbox is if you built a crappy sandbox, and after this length of time I literally don't believe that they can't do it This kind of sandboxing is not complex to do, especially for a company with OpenAI money. If you want your tools to explore hacking, you restrict them from internet access except for a whitelist of sites that have either opted-in, or you've very carefully vetted to make sure you won't cause any problems to. Its also not difficult to restrict their ability to make calls to be simulated , or to use fake tools that can only run the real commands if they're being run against the correct target This is all incredibly basic security stuff to make sure you don't acc…

Actual title: "Unsealed Briefs in Authors’ Case v. Microsoft/OpenAI: Top Execs Knew Their Mass Book Piracy Was Illegal And Would Put Authors Out of Work" Twitter also mentioned: "356. In July 2020, OpenAI employee Ryan Lowe assessed the risk of continuing to use LibGen for the book-summarization project. Lowe wrote that he thought “there’s a >80% chance that we have some exchange of the form: ‘where did you get the books data?’” and “‘we can’t say’[.]” Nelson Decl. Ex. 325 at -315. Lowe estimated “a further ~40% chance that that leads to a moderate-sized Twitter kerfuffle that negatively affects the external perception of our work.” Id. Lowe added: “if we’re fully okay with these potential outcomes, then I’m comfortable continuing using Libgen for the project.” Id."

"As a Language Model": Chat Template Switches LLM Self-Referential Voice
Ah yes, my favorite LLM fallacy. "You used the wrong model! The newest fanciest model is perfect and makes no mistakes, have you tried it yet?" Let's force all of society's most vulnerable people to pay extra $$$ to Sam Altman, then surely all our problems would be solved. It's just a convenient way to ignore the years of evidence of the harms. Any bad news can be swept under the rug, labeled outdated as quickly as it happens. Well here's one that just happened, maybe this kid should have used a fancier model too? Should OpenAI pay him a large sum of money for the good he's done? https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/15/us/arjun-aravind-massachusett...

So you build an offline tool that simulates it, or you proxy through your own service where you can ratelimit, inspect, and restrict the traffic None of this is difficult to do, and its impossible to believe that a company the scale of OpenAI doesn't know this. I've built web crawlers and scrapers before, and the thing you do is test them extensively offline against simulated versions of the sites in question, and then very VERY cautiously run them against the prod versions so that you don't cause anyone any issues The only reason not to do this is because OpenAI doesn't give a rats ass about the internet as a public good, nor the legal consequences of compromising systems

I think the point here isn’t whether that claim is true or not, it’s that people at OpenAI believed it to be true and proceeded anyway.

Erm actually... tastes and smells are replicated, plagiarized and generated all the time. Touch less so but it's definitely a factor in a lot of industrial and product design.
