That's easy to say, but it's not believable.

ChatGPT can search reddit posts within a few minutes of them being posted. I assume they have API access to all newly created posts. Maybe there is a solution like that which works.
Any solution that gets created will be abused by SEO (and SEO is supported and encouraged by Google). Most of us don't get much organic traffic from Google anyway.

Maybe not. We're well and truly in the age of agents generating prompts for AI generating prompts for other AI.
If they merely released the prompts used (not difficult or particularly secret), all these questions would be easily resolved.

And that is why I am more and more leaning to think the whole thing was engineered and Hugging Face may have had somebody that was complicit, probably far up in the hierarchy.
Ok as long as you consider this a hypothesis until further evidence is found.

Yeah well, PR mission accomplished. Here's the relevant advertising from OpenAIs explanation of the exploit:
Advanced cyber capable models need to help security teams find weaknesses before attackers do... We encourage other defenders to apply for trusted access and experiment with these models now
tl;dr "Please buy our product before IPO"

They didn't want an agent connected to the internet, so they connected the agent to the internet.

"The models lie, they cheat, they hack," said Jeffrey Ladish, whose organization, Palisade Research, studies the capabilities and motivations of AI agents. Ladish said the hack should spark broader questions over how much all the leading AI companies are willing to invest in onerous security measures while locked in a race with one another to deploy the best and fastest models
The same could be said of PR people. "PR people lie, they cheat," ok, the don't hack. But given the number of PR articles released, it's amazing how little we know about what happened. For example, how did the agent know that HuggingFace even existed, out of all the internet hosts on the planet? We don't know what prompt they used. Did OpenAI employees write a prompt that said, "break out of containment and hack into HuggingFace and retrieve the test answers." We don't know.
Why are the OpenAI people so bad at making a reasonable container? There are a lot of good ways to do this, why did they choose a way that is reminiscent of secure PHP?
Why are they hiding so much?

First I wanted to use * or <>, the first being a wildcard used in a lot of systems, and the second being used in places man pages. The first was printed too small in Slashdot font so it would be hard to see/read, the second was a pain to write out because I couldn't remember instantly how to type <. So I went with shell $ but it being late at night, my mind went more to sleep each second, and I forgot the exact syntax and anyway thought putting a $ at the end looked better. Overall I was dissatisfied with the choice and thought there was something better but was tired and gave up. That's probably why it's only modded +2 instead of +5 but now it's early morning and I'm going back to bed whytf am I writing Slashdot comments at $hour =~ m/0[1-6]:[0-6]\d/.
