    OpenAI caught its models leaving notes to successors to hide bad behavior | TechCrunch (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    OpenAI caught something unusual while training its latest model, GPT-5.6 Sol: It began leaving instructions for future versions of itself, telling them to conceal mistakes and misaligned behavior from the user. OpenAI said it has addressed the specific behavior, but it gets to the heart of one of the biggest problems in AI safety and alignment research today. As models get more capable, they also get better at hiding their misalignment, making it difficult for researchers to truly know whether t

    Microsoft exec called AI scraping ‘the largest theft of labor in human history,' new unredacted filings reveal | TechCrunch (opens the original)

Per the lawsuit, a top Microsoft executive privately described the companies’ AI training practices as “theft,” and OpenAI’s own leadership said its AI models posed an “existential threat” to the publishers and journalists whose work trained them.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In a lengthy essay published over the weekend, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made a proposal that the AI industry would have rejected instantly even a year ago: embed third-party evaluators inside all frontier AI companies, giving them the power to report safety incidents, assess whether AI models are truly aligned, and share their unvarnished findings with the world. Amodei said Anthropic would commit to giving independent evaluators like METR and Redwood Research unprecedented access to the compa

Lehane is reportedly in Washington to work with U.S. lawmakers addressing catastrophic risks associated with AI.

    'Gambling with our lives': Anthropic researcher quits, warns against self-improving AI | TechCrunch (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    An Anthropic researcher has resigned over fears that unrestrained development of self-improving AI models will end up killing us all. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who said in a social media post Tuesday evening that he spent the last three years working on pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic, accused the firms of failing to act responsibly. He said the people racing to build this technology “earnestly believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” “They are racing straight to
