Of course you are leaving things out. Also, your insulation that a trillion-dollar corporation wouldn't intentionally commit a federal crime makes it difficult to take your argument seriously.

I think OpenAI's story, as they've recounted it, is plausible. However, it does require a degree of negligence, at best. They claim they detected the initial coordination because of the outage the agents caused in Artifactory as they flooded it with messages. Though they patched that issue, they didn't patch the escapement vector. Models still had access to the service as a path to the internet. This is an example of plausible willful negligence, not evidence. I hardly believe it's likely, but I don't think it's entirely a stretch of the imagination. Call it normalized deviance. Either way, the incentives are there. Additionally, we have seemly all agreed that OpenAI is somehow not liable?
