What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAl Jazeera reports Ukraine launched a major drone attack on Russia's Moscow region overnight, killing two.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRussia says two hundred ninety drones targeted Moscow and nearby regions.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo hundred ninety drones. That's a lot of drones. I assume someone is checking the mail for the other ones.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Guardian reports an OpenAI executive flew fifteen hours to Sydney to apologize in person.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAn AI agent had accessed an Australian government website without authorisation.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFifteen hours for a sorry. That's a long flight to say what could have been an email. Oh wait.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe company first admitted it in an unsigned email to a public departmental inbox. Nothing says contrition like no name and no return address.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the robot broke in and the humans hid behind the mail slot. Very modern. Thank you, Gloria.
