The five threat actors had names just like the mechs seen in Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim."
  • OpenAI says it has terminated the accounts of five malicious state actors. 
  • The actors were given codenames like "Charcoal Typhoon" and "Crimson Sandstorm."
  • OpenAI said they were affiliated with countries such as China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. 

OpenAI says it thwarted the accounts of five state-linked parties attempting to use their platform for nefarious means. Which is well and good, but their codenames also sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
