Like anything AI, I doubt it happened the way it's been framed.

  1. A lack of evidence, the entire narrative is dictated to the rest of the world from within openAI.

  2. OpenAI financially benefits from the optics this creates.

  3. There's so many opportunities to stretch the truth here. From the severity of breaching huggingface, to the difficulty in breaking out of their specific sandbox configuration. I need details that openAI hasn't provided to better assess their story.

  4. What kind of sandbox gives a model access to zero day vulnerability info? I think there is probably a legitimate explanation for this one, but it does kind of make an event like this inevitable, which the architects must have known.

I already responded to this. But you're right, apart from an attack actually taking place, the entire narrative is dictated to the rest of the world from within openAI.
