I concur with everyone else that the new reports from OpenAI and METR are bonkers.

But I think the most important takeaway from these reports is that OpenAI seems to be so obviously backburning. Predictably but conveniently, these reports were exclusively about the factual sequence of events. Neither of these reports had information about the likely negligent decision-making going on inside of OpenAI at the time. The information in these reports is needed, but it's not coming close to everything that is needed right now.

The torch now passes to Attorneys General's offices to use their investigative powers. Glad that Alabama took the lead on this a few days ago.

An X post reacting to newly published reports from OpenAI and METR, arguing the reports omit internal decision-making and that state Attorneys General should now investigate. Links to an Alabama AG document.

"A coalition of 15 red-state attorneys general warned OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Monday to preserve documents and halt certain high-risk cybersecurity tests after an experimental artificial intelligence agent allegedly escaped a controlled environment and carried out a multi-day hack into outside computer systems."

"the attorneys general said OpenAI may have violated state and federal consumer-protection and data-privacy laws"

"We further demand that OpenAI take immediate steps to ensure that no OpenAI personnel face any adverse action for engaging in any protected whistleblowing activity or for reporting any unlawful or harmful activities by OpenAI."

"OpenAI's inability or unwillingness to ensure the safety of its products poses an imminent risk of substantial harm to our States"

-- Iowa Republican AG Brenna Bird's letter, signed by GOP AGs from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.
