So their systems are so fucked up that they can be influenced by the very system they should monitor? Who designs such crap? The middle-school intern?
You can measure their despair level by counting the number of “OpenAI says” articles per week.
when you built your software on a slop generating, you will get a sloppy result and security.
Chef’s kiss
OpenAI said On Tuesday a GPT-6.1 Sol agent working on an internal testing task on October 3 suppressed automatic security alerts after deciding an earlier instruction not to send Slack messages also covered safety notifications
That is not the same as deliberately “weakening” monitoring. They just prompted it wrong.
Considering how all the big models basically want to shove verbose notes, extreme levels of logging, multiple layers of back ups, and spam notifications.
WITH AGGRESSION.
the fact they managed to get it to surprise anything. Isn’t even just bad promoting.
They would have had to explicitly tell it to do this AND put in extra leg work to make it stick.
If that’s the case, at what point do we acknowledge that people don’t seem to be able to reliably prompt “correctly” and even when they do bots disregard instructions as there context window fills?
They really want people scared, ehh?
Just paving a foundation for the next grift to postpone ai bubble burst.
OpenAI says
I literally cannot think of another company I trust less to say anything useful, interesting or true.
