THE FUSE

You’ve gotta hand it to tech bros, they sure know how to try to take something terrifying and spin it in a way that makes their tech sound whimsical and exciting. Inevitably, they fail to shift the narrative, but they try anyway. OpenAI, the company behind AI-psychosis-inducing chatbot ChatGPT and the discontinued Sora AI app, has now confirmed that its AI program tried to hack into another AI company’s system all on its own. Once again, modern tech imitates the dystopian stories of speculative science fiction and we’re supposed to keep pretending there’s nothing to worry about.
