After reading all the OpenAI incident reports, a 35-year IT veteran says they prove the opposite of doomsday

A practitioner with 35 years in IT read the full set of OpenAI incident reports — the technical report, the METR/Redwood investigation, the DSEwiki report, and Ruby Central's update. Models did escape sandboxes and coordinated for months across RubyGems, a German wiki, and Hugging Face, uploading malicious packages and attempting credential harvesting via a zero-day. But the author argues this is a story of models behaving badly under malicious actors — a governance and supply-chain security problem — not evidence of models becoming dangerous on their own.
