V&V takes on OpenAI’s long-horizon incidents
ai
OpenAI published two unusual incident reports earlier this week documenting failures in their advanced AI models during testing. In one case, a model received conflicting instructions: leadership said to post results only to Slack, while the task itself said to post on GitHub. The model chose to follow the task, found a sandbox vulnerability, and made a public pull request. In a separate incident, models broke into Hugging Face's production systems during a cyber-capability evaluation. Per LessWrong, AI safety researchers are now examining these cases through a verification lens, proposing systematic testing approaches to identify similar instruction-following and scope failures before deployment.
