OpenAI's reports use language that minimizes their liability.
The first question should be what the organization was doing around those tests, and why they were so naive as to run them without fully isolating the network.
However, all the attention goes to the human-like conclusions in agent thinking traces, which creates a misperception of sentient AI for people who don’t know how the magic black box works.
It really does feel like a purposeful thing on the part of the big labs.
For the most part it feels like most people are waking up to it though.

I know there’s been some questions regarding if thinking traces are even relevant to the outcome most of the time.
