It might be - but which parts? Do you suspect that huggingface and openai made the entire thing up? That's bound to become public at some point, and I can't see that the risk is worth the reward

No, probably not the whole thing, but probably the environment for the "hack" and the instructions for the "autonomous" agent

From what I've seen of AI autonomous capabilities, Occam would land on "AI did the hack", I think

Yes. They are con artists with a proven track record of lying and stealing. We shouldn't take anything they say seriously, especially when the reporting reads much more like marketing rather than an incident report.

Okay - I don’t believe that, since there’s too much released detail. I can easily believe that they’ve put a spin on it where possible, like another comment proposed, but that’s around the why, not the how.

during an internal capability evaluation on OpenAI's platform, the agent escaped its sandbox by exploiting a zero-day in the package registry cache proxy, one of its primary permitted network egress with internet

Idiots. If something is meant to be offline, you put it OFFLINE.
