alt Hacker News> I want to agree but have heard from several lawyers that at least in US, CFAA[1] in unlikely to be sufficient because it requires intent. No person intended to gain unauthorised access.
Only in terms of CFAA, not in terms of damages. Culpability does not require intent.
You may not have intended to attack $CORP, but you can still made to pay the cleanup costs of that attack.
So, yeah, you won't be convicted, but current laws still allow for you to be billed.
Which is the correct way to handle this.
With that said, there is also criminal negligence. Now that OpenAI is made aware of the risks, it's also expected to take additional precautions in the future, otherwise there could be criminal liability as well.
