I believe that this comment is exactly the intended outcome of this “incident” and these reports.

I implore you to approach these situations with at least a hint of cynicism.

These “advanced foundation models” escaped their “sandbox” and conducted an attack on their own? Meanwhile the highest capability models available to the public still struggle to write a unit test for a codebase larger than a hobby app without large amounts of tailored human guidance.

What is more likely here - are you looking at research on an emergent phenomenon, or are you looking at advertising copy around an engineered scenario from business partners?
