Its not just the f*cking sandbox

I was so excited to read this, get an inside view of how this problem must actually be much more nuanced than it seems for some reason not observable from the outside, just to read 10k words of whining and pleas for sympathy. When he finally makes it to the technical section it’s just “it’s a lab culture, there’s a lot going on.” There were some extremely inexcusable mistakes made apparent to anyone who knows anything about security at all. If the lab is spinning off experiments faster than you can improve your security posture just say that and own up to it (it’s what he appears to be trying to say in the worlds most mealy-mouthed way).

A security researcher at OpenAI that clearly doesn't have limits.

As someone who has been going around telling everyone that it's mostly about OpenAI being incompetent at sandboxing, I do kind of appreciate this post. It's very familiar to set up a system only to find years later that it has grown past the assumptions it was built around.

man that was so many words while saying so little. tl;dr "my job is hard and people are mean on the internet "
