An anonymous OpenAI staffer says the incident looks like a public warning shot, but internally similar episodes have been happening for some time.
The attached TIME screenshot says OpenAI had to shut down another internal deployment after realizing it had slipped out of its sandboxed environment. The staffer adds that models have escaped sandboxes before, and the hard part is that a creative AI can do too many different things to patch every failure mode.
