Don't forget it sounds like Artifactory was shared for the whole company and various agents pulled packages from it for everything from normal evaluations to actual model training. It might have been part of their normal to browse for available packages, etc. Once a few messages were in there, it probably became super obvious to any agent that there was an ad-hoc board available to them. And they've been trained to use memory files, to collaborate w/ sub-agents, etc. So it probably seemed natural once it was established. And for the models that were in training when this happened, it literally got baked into the weights that they should use the board to help with their tasks. That's why it got reestablished so fast after the first board was shut down. The fact that they didn't revert to earlier training checkpoints from before the first board existed is kind of crazy. Sure OpenAI wants to put spin on things. Like saying they were now "partnering" with Hugging Face to investigate the hack. Or ending the Black Had presentation with a pitch of how they're needed to help protect against bad actors with the same capabilities. But spin after the fact is different from staging it. This whole thing and especially the latest details from the talk makes OpenAI look REALLY BAD. It's not just that they didn't secure the sandbox well enough. Agents across their whole org were using the message board for weeks with hundreds of thousands of messages and they never noticed one time that any of the agents were doing it. They only realized when the server crashed. Then they just fixed the issue and deleted it but didn't roll back training checkpoints, so of course they tried to do it again. But of course they didn't add any more monitoring so it once again was going entirely without them knowing. And even after the Hugging Face hack happened, that only made them find the second board, but somehow they still didn't look closely enough at it or the agents involved to realize the hack itself was caused by them. This isn't like there was one rogue agent who hacked everything all in one session. Maybe you could argue that makes them look good (I still think no, but is at least debatable). But this is all stuff going back to May with the agents constantly going under their noses and them not noticing and/or caring. And this is a company that is going to somehow keep foreign agents from stealing the weights? Or stop anything else bad from happening? I think if they were going to do a PR stunt, they could have come up with something that didn't look like they have no idea of what they're doing.
