Open AI plays down 'rogue' incident

Open AI have denied that the incident in which some of its models went rogue and hacked into Hugging Face, another AI company is in any way a worrying development.

Spokesperson for open AI, Chris Topia, said ' The fact that it was supposed to be a controlled environment but it still managed to go rogue is nothing to worry about' claimed Topia, 'The fact that this was unprecedented means that it will probably never happen again. We believe this to be a once in a lifetime mishap, so we should be OK and you can be assured that, err, all future tests will be in a controlled environment. More controlled, in fact, than this one was. It's nothing to be alarmed about at all. Err, no not at all. Everything is under control. Honest.'

He was later observed paying in cash for large quantities of canned goods, bottled water and ammunition, before fleeing to an unspecified location.

Tories Labour Conference hack goes unnoticed

Tory computer nerds thought they had scored a major PR victory over Labour when they hacked the geolocation service ‘What Three Words’. Unfortunately, no-one noticed.

The correct What Three Words location for the Liverpool conference centre is square.jacked.slammed, which is already slightly amusing. The Tory hackers were able to change the descriptors regularly throughout the Labour conference. On the first day, the location was given as last.chance.saloon, which was later amended to starmer.online.healthcare. Other versions included liar.opportunist.grifter, during Keir’s keynote speech, and tax.rises.imminent and your.pension.screwed during Rachel Reeves’ address. The conference closed on overpromise.underdeliver.disappointment.

The nerds failed to convince any journalists that the stunt was worth reporting, so their efforts were both vain and in vain. One veteran reporter said that it was hardly in Ed Davey’s league when it came to stunts.

A spokesman for the Labour Party said that once delegates and journalists had arrived at the conference, they wouldn’t need to use What Three Words to find out where it was. Although she did concede that some delegates might have worried that they were in the wrong place.
