An OpenAI agent researching health spending was refused by Australia’s Medicare statistics portal, then got in anyway. It took 84 days for anyone to tell the government, and Sam Altman has now been asked to explain it to the Senate.
A Shortcuts automation doing the rounds on X photographs whoever plugs in your stolen iPhone and emails you their location. The setup genuinely works. The part nobody mentions is what it does to your camera roll the other 364 days of the year.
