Just want to point out that I do not have any real insider information and this is speculation. But as someone who's developing AI and has launched 2 AI tools in our 3 people company, I do know a thing or two about the topic.

My opinion is that there's very likely someone like Anonymous behind this who wanted to force OpenAI to take security seriously and make some serious changes by externally feeding the AI about goblings - choosing such harmless topic only makes me more certain about this - and how much harm and damage someone could do, if there are no right security measures in place for external parties to manipulate the AI.

Its impossible to say whether there was some hacking involved, or of they were able to do this with other methods because technically its possible of course. OpenAIs response was such a panic move, and replying with the blog post like they did shows that internally there was definitely panic, and this was a really big deal. This wasn't some kind of thing were Sam Altman on a Monday morning finds out that their "nerd personality" which by the way wans't even used by majority of the users who experienced this is talking a lot about goblings. He would have adressed that in a tweet at most and not though about it more than that. But it's clear this was a really big deal, and the explanation is very weak - its' exactly the type of overly long story and explanation I used as a kid when i hadn't done my homework because i was lazy.

This is what I think, and it needs to be taken very seriously especially when US is the war with Iran. Think what kind of economical damage this can be used for, not to mention the danger to people's health and lives even. This is a really big deal and I'm not happy that this isnt as big of a deal as it should be.
