Grace: This headline is extremely funny given what happened (OpenAI hacked HF by accident) openai.com/index/huggin...

Grace: Maybe the most concerning part is the OpenAI claim to not have known about this before investigating?

Grace: Well, I think the model passed the test

Tim Duffy: Anthropic announces they've also had models gain unauthorized access during evaluations www.anthropic.com/news/investi...

Tim Duffy: Compared to the OpenAI one these are maybe less evidence of misalignment, since the models were wrongly given internet access.
