OpenAI have come out and said: >The Wednesday evening statement from OpenAI was more emphatic: “We can say categorically that it is impossible for Dr. Buckmaster’s Codex prompts over the last two months to have influenced the system in any way, including training.” >The statement added, “After investigating, we can say with full confidence that no user inputs past July 3rd could have influenced this system in any way.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/science/tristan-buckmaste... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Apart from the well-known dubious position of OpenAI wrt truth, the prompts/inputs do mot include the outputs. You can train on a sequence of outputs. In the end, OpenAI outputs are OpenAI's property. You can learn a lot from a single side of a conversation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Is there a reason they scoped that so narrowly to Buckmaster/codex/2 months two people worked on this for a year before the breakthrough. Perhaps that earlier work reduced the search space sufficiently to brute force the problem with 10,000 agents? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is literally "We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing" Why should we trust them? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
