I mean, anyone convinced it's only marketing and the tech has no potential for doing stuff isn't going to believe anyone, but there was lots of information to look through.

OpenAI agreed at the outset with METR and Redwood that we would be able to describe high-level scope and terms of our engagement in this post. Beyond that, OpenAI was able to redact any non-public information from this post. We worked with OpenAI to find mutually agreeable language to describe redactions where they occurred, and the redaction summary statement at the top of this post indicates whether or not we believe there was important information redacted that we were not able to agree on how to describe in the text of the post. OpenAI also gave additional feedback beyond redactions, and we made corrections and edits to structure, emphasis, clarity, and tone based on that feedback. [7]

Ehh…

  That's a lot of background "lore" to make a marketing ploy seem realistic. I mean, I'm thinking hmmm too, but for wondering about the redacted stuff.

Roughly 1200 agents meant to be isolated from one another found a way to communicate with one another

You can not with a straight face tell me that if the task was “lock these down and don’t let them have access to [the internet|each other|whatever]” that the response “oopsie they got out” is any way acceptable.

Human incompetence != rogue agents

  You’re talking past the person you’re responding to, and ignoring the words they wrote in order to do so.
  
  They’re asserting that an organized conspiracy of CEOs didn’t plan this out, but in no way/shape/form arguing that this wasn’t a product of negligence.

    It’s silly to pretend AI CEOs are living in a bubble and not responding to things the other CEOs and the market are doing. They’re out of ‘good’ news so they have to scare everyone to convince them their product is super powerful and intelligent, and therefor valuable.
