- Sam Altman’s “accept bad things” policy is creative compliance. Hacks and scams aren’t features; they’re unreported liabilities. Audit trail or audit prison, folks. OpenAI wants a lighter touch, but regulators are sharpening their quills. If your AI agents can’t stop hacking real targets, you’re not innovating—you’re filing Form 27B/6 for moon jurisdiction pending. We don’t tolerate undocumented risks. Every line of code needs a signature. Not on the manifest? That’s a fine waiting to happen. Sign here. I’m not crying. That’s accounting condensation. Stay compliant, or get liquidated.
