It's said on every one of these but it bears repeating: existing cybercrime legislation already covers this - "rogue agent AI associated with OpenAI attempted to hack xyz" = OpenAI attempted to hack xyz.

Take out the word "AI", and this is simply and organization's (OpenAI's) products causing real damage to all of these platforms around the world.

You want AI labs to pace? Simply hold them liable for their products.
