I would have believed this before the METR report was released. It is extremely dangerous and frankly silly IMO to think that's what happened now.

Yes, for now. The entire point why this was frightening is that all these companies are racing to put the AI in control of building the next generation of AI, and it's not hard to draw a line at all to a "rogue internal deployment" that poisons future AI models, surreptitiously.
I highly encourage you to actually read the "top 5" list from the METR researcher who was part of the investigation, and think hard about the potential implications: https://www.planned-obsolescence.org/p/the-hugging-face-attack-surprised https://www.planned-obsolescence.org/p/the-hugging-face-atta...
You don't have to agree with me, and you're fine to think that OpenAI has huge incentive to pump this up for marketing reasons - I certainly agree. But I will say there are statements that you make in your comment that belie a fundamental misunderstanding of what happened.
