What's the verdict on the reports of AIs escaping containment? (collusion.wiki)

The linked article is about some site that OpenAI's models used to discuss answers and other stuff.

Initially, I believed that Anthropic's model escaping its sandbox story to be dubious—and OpenAI's similar story even more so specially since it happened so close to Anthropic's. I believe that these are just fabrications, more or less, to hype themselves up for cmtheir incoming IPO but the media is saturated with claims about AI breaking containment that I don't know that to think.

Also, the models I've had the chance to use were all free—which were good for non-trivial but repetitive tasks but not much else—so I don't know the capabilities of the flagships.

The concept is patently fallacious to anyone with a passing understanding of how this technology works. They are machines that execute instructions with no capacity to do anything else. Boeing autopilot capability didn't "escape containment" when it caused all those fatal crashes, because autopilot avionic capabilities do not actually fly the aircraft by understanding cause and effect, they execute "Open Relay B when Sensor A registers 18.6 volts until Sensor A registers 18.4 volts". The aircraft doesn't understand that Relay B opens the hydraulic servo controlling the elevator and that Sensor A is a pitot tube measuring angle of attack. LLMs just generate statistically likely text.
