Details
The additional incident occurred in January and was identified by scanning previously missed transcripts found in August. The report revises July’s interpretation: a model’s claims that it is in a simulation are not sufficient evidence of its beliefs. A September 10 correction states that PyPI removed the malicious package within an hour (not about 90 minutes) and that the internal research model attempted to access several neighboring systems but got into only one.
