Not sure what point you're trying to make here, although the Barack "Hussein" Obama dog whistle in your previous comment does provide a hint.

so you mean, who hired comapny in question is not at fault?

The original CISA DOMino contract was awarded to Raytheon back in 2017, under the Trump administration.
(Granted, this was following a 2 year legal battle, and Raytheon had originally been selected by the Obama administration in 2015.)
Raytheon later spun out its cybersecurity division into Nightwing, which took the DOMino contract with it.

And also Biden did not sack company who fucked up is not at fault?

In 2024, the Biden administration wanted to replace the DOMino contract with the ACTS contract, which was awarded to Leidos.
One day (!) after Trump took office in 2025, Nightwing sued, arguing that the contract was unfairly awarded to Leidos.
In May of 2025, Trump's DHS and CISA (facing massive budget cuts) pulled the plug on the ACTS contract altogether, leaving Nightwing and its secret leaking contractors in place.

That's as far as my research took me. Interested in hearing your take.

That's right.
Just find the 5 settings you need to change.
Update some values in your registry.
Execute one or two totally safe binaries that you downloaded from a Belarusian site.
Don't forget to reboot after each step!

And yet people in this very thread are saying how it's not profitable.

Because... it's not. Revenue is not profit, and neither OpenAI nor Anthropic are turning a profit at this point. They're burning billions on infrastructure and compute power to keep training the next frontier model. And they have to keep doing that for the foreseeable future because they're not only competing against each other, but also against open source models (already surprisingly capable), Chinese models (ditto), and so on.

Are you people retarded?
Maybe. Or we have moral reservations. Or we're old enough to remember the previous hype trains. Or we're taking a little bit of a longer perspective.

No need to sigh buddy. It's OK to admit that you haven't thought things through.

You categorically stated that "if you use the public's tax money to make something, the public have rights to the IP of that thing", and now you need to start splitting hairs because your position is untenable.

For the record, CERN is its own separate legal entity, and is not wholly funded by European taxpayer money.

Sorry to throw a wrench into your anger manufactory, but The Atlantic (emphasis yours) did not write the article that you refer to. It's just an opinion piece published in their "Ideas" section.

If you're planning to take all publications to task for every opinion piece they publish, you've got a long road ahead of you. As for the current article about the missing scientists which you claim to be "utterly wrong": how so?

The 7 tenets of The Satanic Temple would be an excellent starting point:

I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
