> By the time the humans even became aware of the problem

Except, let me quote part of the report:

> July 4: Artifactory outage caused by agent interactions overloading the system.

> July 6: New artifactory instance is patched and put back online, wiping out the previous message board and method of internet access. A team at OpenAI was aware of the previous message board, but key decision makers were not.

> July 7: Experiments are restarted.

There was a very clear point where humans were aware and they went "Eh, whatever" and turned the bots back on! That's not the lack of any battle of wits that people are expecting. You're saying that the bots attack should be fait accompli, but it was noticed, shrugged at, and expressly allowed to proceed.
