I'm confused at how to make sense of when OpenAI discovered the message board, given this statement + the OpenAI report.
How is it both true OpenAI "wasn't aware of the agent covert comms" at "that point" (July 4th-6th), but the report says that on June 27th responders "linked the observed internal activity to an ExploitGym evaluation using Artifactory as an improvised message board?"
Honestly not trying to do a "gotcha" here - I appreciate there was a ton of work in getting all this information out into the public quickly, and so I understand if there was some error in the process, but I find it odd why there is not a clear answer to "when did OpenAI realize about the message board."
Seems like the sort of thing people would remember!
(One way to make these things consistent is that some of the responders realized in late June, but that information had not been relayed to executives until much later. If so that seems pretty astonishing)
