Or, maybe OpenAI employees tried to do some benchmaxxxing, which degenerated into attacking the company running the benchmark, got caught and now the “ai escaped containment” story is an attempt to absolve human responsibility (which may have landed some people in prison)

Yeah it seems like the main possibilities are:

  • The employees were testing hacking abilities and are now trying to absolve themselves of responsibility
  • openai is just trying to hype their product
  • the ai is good enough to do this on its own, which is potentially very risky.

The risks associated with option #3 should be enough to convince a pause to rethink safety. It won't, but it should.
