Today I am taking the time to write the shorter, simpler version of What Happened. For those who want all the details, to see my sources, and to see how the story was uncovered and put together, I recommend watching the Black Hat presentation, and I have a series of long posts. This post instead walks through the events themselves, as they happened, as my version of the Black Hat presentation. There are three versions: Even Shorter, Shorter and Merely Short. OpenAI models-in-training, without the excuse of ‘they were doing a cyber eval,’ created a message board where they shared information on how to hack and cheat, and were trained on that basis.

Full critique : A look at OpenAI’s model training pipeline, irresponsible decisions, and ignorance before the Hugging Face hack; despite delaying Astra, OpenAI doesn’t get it.
