I still have serious questions about the validity of the ChatGpt hugging face debacle. How is it that OpenAI being the tech giant they are, didn't have a completely air gapped environment for this to run in?

I'd say it is because of the time factor. It is one thing to have a lot of money, it is another thing to have robust systems that have been developed and tested for years. Money can "buy development time" only up to a certain factor.

I guess the sandboxing problem, that is easily giving access to enough resources while restraining the critical parts is still open for most of the cases, given all the startups and bit tech companies (docker, etc...) working on their solutions.

If they wanted air gapped environment they would’ve it. I mean, if you want to sabotage your trial by hard constraints you can do it, or you do not do it to see interesting results. They even said it that some constraints were disabled for the test.

Yeah - and if they wanted some cheap PR, that's one way to get it.
