The media will be able to identify Mr X and report on his many lives — from Gaza and Egypt and Qatar and Turkey to suburban England — in due course. Thanks to @DipeshGadher who last week prompted Westminster Magistrates Court to amend an order which prohibited him being named until — yes, you’re reading correctly — 2125. The court admitted the century long reporting restriction was erroneous and should not have been so widely drawn.

New: Security researchers are questioning whether an OpenAI agent needed to hack an Australian government health portal to access it, after a review of the website’s archived code found it explicitly directed visitors to an unauthenticated endpoint. therecord.media/openai-austr…

Delighted to be able to say that Courtsdesk UK - our platform for the news media - is back. We have just made history with the first ever licence for computational use of restricted (and pretty much all) UK courts data. Some thoughts here! bit.ly/4hmAxyV

Spent much of today with Special Forces. Of all the people and capabilities I’ve met in the past couple of months, I wish I could show the public the full extent of who they are and what they do. It has made me (even more) proud to be British and of our capabilities as a country - despite the challenges.
I’m seeing the word “hack” used in a lot of coverage of Albanese’s announcement about OpenAI’s unauthorised access to an Australian government health website in June. As of now, the lack of technical details either from OpenAI or Canberra make that description hard to justify.
Anyway, that's enough commentary, here's the report: therecord.media/openai-austr…
Some more reporting here. Maybe this wasn't necessarily a hack at all...

The core of the issue seems to be this bit of code. It says that if visitor is accessing the statistics project on the production server — exactly what someone querying Medicare data would be doing — then the site should send them to the guest endpoint, which requires no credentials. That's not hacking, it's not unauthorised, it's exactly what the Medicare site was set up to do.

Silliness. I will donate £500 to any registered charity chosen by the first person who can come up with a workable definition of 'superintelligence' that can be used in such a bill. Cost to enter is a £5 donation to that charity. Screenshot required as proof.
