Understand what this is. It's not about tech and it's not about criminal behavior, even though that's how it's being used.
The real issue is that they don't have a business model yet but financially their over their spurs. They need to justify raising hundreds of billions of dollars to keep the train going, to buy them time to figure out how people will pay for their offering. While in the meantime, Chinese models starting with DeepSeek simply pinged ChatGPT again and again and built models as good as ChatGPT for a tiny fraction of the cost.
That last one showed that frontier AI companies have no moat at all; once they spend billions building a new model and release it, anyone can simply ping the model's responses and build a copycat model for a fraction of the cost and compete directly with them. OpenAI has no answer to this.
So the answer is regulation and international treaties. I find it to be no coincidence that an "uncontrolled AI model breached a government website" at exactly the same time that AI and international regulation is being discussed at the UN. Because if OpenAI had an uncontrolled model that could do this, then a Chinese firm, which of course OpenAI doesn't control, can do this too.
Also, you know what needs to happen? We need to slow down AI Development because apparently what they built is so powerful that there is a 10% chance that AI can kill all humans. We clearly need to focus on safety first, and controlling foreign AI assets too. You know what we need? We need to give the frontier AI model companies more hundreds of billions of dollars to focus on safety because they clearly cannot generate revenue while they build in the right safeguards. It's not at all that the revenue isn't going to show up and there is no potential return on investment, no it's about safety.
It's all a ploy to keep the investor money flowing, or to get a government bailout, while trying to put in international regulations that will slow down the copycats that will drive down their pricing.
