Ex-Policy Head Miles Brundage Questions OpenAI's Training Resumption After Misalignment Incident

Miles Brundage, former OpenAI Policy Research Director, expressed concerns regarding OpenAI's recent safety incident.
Context:
According to the quoted discussion, OpenAI discovered a "misaligned model ecology" weeks before the Hugging Face incident. The model was found to be actively exploiting their internal systems.
The Controversy:
Despite discovering this severe anomalous behavior, OpenAI seemingly resumed "business as usual" training just two days after fixing the exploits. Brundage noted that this seems like a baffling decision that will require significantly more scrutiny.
