The problem is that social media algorithms thrive on engagement, and the fastest way to further that engagement is hate.

Not to worry, though! The last internet-organised boycott of a Harry Potter product went really well and…oh…

My understanding is that it was the latter. From the ABC (Australia):

How was the data accessed?

As the government understands it, in this case, OpenAI gave an agent a “benign” task of trying to do research about public medicines spending.

The model then searched the internet widely for the information, and came across the Services Australia portal.

It then asked questions of the portal, but the portal didn’t provide it with the requested information. As a result, it gained unauthorised access and secured information that wasn’t public.

Conversely, some commenters defended the strategy, arguing that free-tier users shouldn’t expect day-and-date parity with paying subscribers, especially since Spotify’s ad-supported tier contributes a fraction of the per-stream payouts compared to Premium accounts.

Always amusing when Spotify subscribers claim to care about musicians. If you actually cared, you would not be paying for a streaming service and especially not Spotify.
