On a sunny July day in Berkeley, California, the country's top AI safety researchers gathered on an unmarked floor of an unmarked building.

Teams should verify the evidence first: is there a public incident report, reproducible logging, and a full statement from OpenAI? Until those details exist, agents with internet or system access belong in isolated environments with minimal permissions, complete logs, and an immediately available kill switch.
