Why isn't somebody at OpenAI going to prison for cybercrime? If somebody did this the old-fashioned way they'd end up in prison.

Many are claiming this was a deliberate stunt on OpenAI's part to create buzz for its models. I personally doubt this is true. But I also have a deep dislike of OpenAI, so I wouldn't exactly mind if law enforcement investigated this possibility, for the sake of clearing the air :-)

(Ideally there should also be liability if it was a complete accident on OpenAI's part as well!)

Do we know that? Seems they are currently in negotiations with OpenAI

Getting compensations from OpenAI is more efficient for them than sending someone at OpenAI to jail.

For breaking which law? If you mean the CFAA, it requires intent. Accidental hacking cannot be charged.

This is the equivalent of a security researcher having a virus escape a sandbox. It's negligent, it's not criminal.

Negligence is occasionally criminal.
