Anthropic has had this happen at least once.

They didn't even realize it happened until openAI captured headlines and they started looking more carefully at past history.

None of the frontier labs are behaving responsibly when it comes to this stuff. OpenAI seems to have it happen more often, but this is one of those situations where 1 time is too many.

If only there was a functioning FCC to investigate potential for foul play in marketing? Surely if any aspect of these episodes turned out to be mischaracterized, let alone staged, there should be consequences, no?

...why would this be an FCC issue?

"Any aspect"? No. (Is there a Betteridge's law for statements following "surely"? If not I'm calling it Rumack's Razor [1].)

And we have no evidence so far anything has been staged, much less to the detriment of telecommunications consumers.

Pardon me I got my jurisdictions mixed up, it's the FTC that would regulate these matters. I'd believe nothing's been staged, but it's quite apparent to me that these security incidents and findings are being spun for marketing.

They seem to agree [1].

It isn’t staged, and it isn’t marketing. It doesn’t reflect well on OpenAI and isn’t going to help their IPO. AI is more dangerous than we expected, sooner than we expected.
