In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“And during our second time, we ran this check.”
“where we tried to figure out, okay,”
“do we have,”
“what fraction of the agents on the message board do we have in our transcript data set?”
“So what we did was we picked random messages from the message board,”
“and we tried to trace to the agent that wrote that message in our transcript data set.”
“And we ended up finding actually also in collaboration with some OpenAI researchers that that transcript data set had roughly 30% of the agents that participated in the message board. And so then OpenAI invited us to come back on prem for a data set selected from a broader search that covered.”Play from 47:06Report a misattribution
