ChatGPT surely doesn't, but perhaps its cousin does. Someone, or something, hacked that U.S. Nuclear Weapons Agency immediately after they stopped using floppy disks and went online. The announcement that the U.S. nuclear arsenal no longer relies on floppy disks was made in the New York Times on October 24th, 2019 (see https://archive.md/lvkmnThe https://archive.md/lvkmnThe and https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/nuclear-weapons-floppy-disks.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/nuclear-weapons-floppy...). The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration is believed to have been breached by the transitive property because they granted a vendor named SolarWinds the ability to remotely manage their systems and SolarWinds got hacked, according to Natasha Bertrand and Eric Wolff at Politico on December 17th, 2020 (see https://archive.md/ZTPOP https://archive.md/ZTPOP and https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/17/nuclear-agency-hacked-officials-inform-congress-447855 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/17/nuclear-agency-hack...). The first evidence that artifacts distributed by SolarWinds had been tampered with dates back to October 2019 according to Tomislav Peričin at ЯeversingLabs (see https://archive.md/HbzUC https://archive.md/HbzUC and https://blog.reversinglabs.com/blog/sunburst-the-next-level-of-stealth https://blog.reversinglabs.com/blog/sunburst-the-next-level-...). Let's also not forget that the coronavirus was first discovered in November 2019.
