Another version of this: These organisations that are terminally anxious about the dangers of AI, yet completely incompetent about sandboxing etc? Also beyond my understanding why there have only ever been issues (afaik?) with internal models, never released models. Either they know exactly how to prevent this stuff or it's a psyop.
