If they actually wanted to test the model without internet access they'd have run it air gapped, not relied on a buggy software sandbox.
This is pretty clearly a marketing stunt by OpenAI, otherwise the story just doesn't add up
Maybe the test/task itself wasn't intended as a marketing stunt. But the response to fallout with "going rouge" certainly was.
The joke was the other western "AI labs" had to quickly follow up with their own marketing cover about their "super intelligent" models "going rouge" as well.
