It sounds like the instance was shared for everything across the company, which as you said was super not good. But it's not just that.. it's that they didn't have enough monitoring to notice what was going on, even though they literally can read all the tool calls and "chains of thought" of every agent. And didn't improve the monitoring after the first message board. And continued training models without going back to a previous checkpoint, so that they literally had the idea of a secret board baked into their weights, making them recreate it a second time. I think those saying it is PR as missing the details here. It makes OpenAI look so negligent that it is almost unbelievable.
