Have you heard of the AI war? This time it's not a sci-fi movie, but OpenAI has personally intervened, cleanly banning a group of North Korean hackers' ChatGPT accounts.
The reason? These guys aren't playing fair; they are using AI to research how to write malicious code, engage in social engineering, and even attempt to fish for big cryptocurrency 'whales'.
OpenAI directly wielded the 'ban hammer', and also packaged their malware samples to send to the security community—this operation is a textbook demonstration of 'hackers' dreams shattered, while inadvertently aiding global justice'.
From a political perspective, this is not simple. North Korean hackers have long been known for 'mining the internet', relying on stealing cryptocurrency and defrauding Western companies to generate revenue for their country. This time, being caught red-handed by OpenAI not only exposed their ambitions in the AI field but also raised an additional alert for the international community: when the double-edged sword of AI falls into the hands of those with 'impure motives', is it a blessing or a curse?
In the US, this is certainly welcomed; after all, OpenAI's actions not only strike at the opponent but also add a 'moral halo' to their own AI governance.
However, North Korea is probably furious—after finally getting a handle on ChatGPT, they were kicked out before they could even show off their tricks, feeling as frustrated as a programmer who has stayed up late coding only to be told by their boss to 'rewrite' it.
Of course, this cat-and-mouse game has just begun. OpenAI's ban may block them for now, but it won't stop North Korean hackers from coming back with a new disguise.
Is the general still looking to make a big splash, shocking the world? 🥳
