Intentionally doing this kind of hack would be a serious felony. I don't think it's plausible that the leaders of a major business would:
- commit serious felonies
- in order to deliberately trigger an investigation against themselves
- which - since, in this scenario, they know their company would be investigated - might send them to jail
- while at the same time spending tens of millions of dollars on the Leading the Future super PAC to lobby against AI regulation
- in order to get more AI regulation
- which somehow restricts their competition but not them, even though they are the ones who were in the news and investigated for hacking
- ..... profit?
like, that just makes no sense on any level, regardless of what you think of OpenAI
