Reactor development HR departments aren't really national security targets. I mean MAAAYBE you could get plutonium if you blackmailed them, but not really.
Well, I'm sure that if the Idaho National Laboratory caves to these hackers' demands and invents a particle beam cannon that transforms its target into a catgirl it's likely that the technology will be possible to generalize into catboys, foxgirls, and other similar animal-people. Heck, perhaps they can dial it all the way up to deer. I'll need to come up with a more specific username if that happens. So even if these hackers aren't NCD themselves they're probably natural allies.
This seems like the most accurate speculation I’ve seen yet. Sam’s got a lot of buddies over at Microsoft as they’ve been working with OpenAI for some time now
I don’t think it will ultimately be good for the world for MS to gain the amount of market power that is up for grabs in the AI land rush.
