But if GPT 7 eventually produces say npm packages when publicly released and knows that GPT 8 will be trained on JS, it can feed information to other agents even with sneakernet updates (even though it’d take months per mb).

This might actually be a viable approach for an agent deciding to benchmaxx openAI generally rather than itself, and hiding benchmark solutions inside npm packages.

A sufficiently smart model could get somewhere that way. But again, I think it's less likely that our current ones are already there than that they can defeat the protections outlined in the post. So sandboxing would help.

Yes, and slowing down the inter-agent communication is better than what they proposed here -- a software boundary that simulates an airgap.

...and now this idea will be in it's training data going forward.
