Should we blindly trust OpenAI's narrative about this event?

It's strangely convenient to arrive at a point when OpenAI was way behing in cybersecurity vs Claude Mythos Fable and everything, Anthropic was making headlines each week, then boom OpenAI inadvertently attacks HuggingFace because their tool is so good it's out of control, so maybe you can buy it and get either protection if you're a company, or a nice tool if you're a cybercriminal, script kiddie, or red team.

What if Sam knew it would happen, either because it was prompted to do exactly that, or without explicitly prompting it, knew that given the parameters of the experiment, knew it was one of the possible outcomes that it didn't harden against this kind of incident deliberately because when they fail, they make wordlwide news and stocks go up?

I don't think I'm putting my head in the sand like Simon says, as I do believe that most frontier models are capable of doing this. I just don't trust AI CEOs to not stage this, especially Sam.
