I had really high hopes for OpenAI's post-mortem, and came away quite disappointed. For instance: "a multitude" is not a real number! Why does the report not say what percentage of activity OpenAI would have caught? These details matter! It also appears that OpenAI "observed an agent engage in message board activity" as of May, but then gives no more details (??) That seems super important to understand; what exactly happened here? Why did Security leadership not know about it until many months later? It was "an internal team" that observed this, not even just a single staff member. I was hoping to come away with much more confidence that these issues wouldn't recur. Sadly, I really don't feel that way after reading it. We have conducted a thorough investigation into the Hugging Face incident. We are releasing a technical report and accompanying blog post that reconstruct the agents’ activity, explain why existing safeguards failed, and detail how we’re preventing recurrence. https://openai.com/…
