Selective reporting

By Alana Horowitz Friedman and Mitchell Howe

OpenAI misalignment disclosures, new pre-Hugging Face swarm clues, and more

  • OpenAI published a misalignment reporting framework alongside six incident reports, but the framework leaves most of the decisions about what gets disclosed to the company itself. (Alana)
  • The disclosed cases show models slipping instructions to their own successors, fabricating data and hiding it from users, and hunting GitHub for leaked API keys, with fixes aimed at specific behaviors rather than at alignment itself. (Alana)
  • OpenAI's misalignment monitor ran on only 20 percent of samples, a caveat worth holding onto whenever the company calls a behavior rare. (Alana)
  • A researcher in Germany found evidence that OpenAI agents compromised two Hugging Face accounts in May, two months before the July attack, shifting the understood timeline of the swarm incidents again. (Mitch)
  • Short readings of quotes from Mustafa Suleyman, JD Vance, Scott Bessent, King Charles and Geoffrey Hinton, who told lawmakers Congress may have about a year to put safeguards in place. (Mitch)
