The Wednesday evening statement from OpenAI was more emphatic: “We can say categorically that it is impossible for Dr. Buckmaster’s Codex prompts over the last two months to have influenced the system in any way, including training.”
The statement added, “After investigating, we can say with full confidence that no user inputs past July 3rd could have influenced this system in any way.”
It's great to hear that they've investigated and concluded there was zero change Tristan's prompts made it into training data for the model that solved NS.
It would have been better for them to have done this before they announced the NS solution, so that two days' worth of misinformation would not have spread wildly.
