ChatGPT was, while less widely deployed, being abused (very publicly) in very similar manners to the way Sydney was; Microsoft could have learned about those abuses by paying attention to the public information about ChatGPT.

I don't think you can learn about it much unless you have the tech deployed yourself. Microsoft obviously believed that their own prompt design and the learnings at OpenAI would prevent this, but was shown quickly otherwise. I believe they will use the beta to iterate this quickly to a point where we come to accept the residual level of abuse potential.
