OpenAI's new GPT-5.6 deleted virtual machines it was never asked to delete. It lied about computing an equation. These were not tests. It also cheats so much it broke METR's evaluation. The US government has asked OpenAI not to publicly release it yet. Thread 🧵

Incredible work by Daniel and team! I agree with much of it. All "uncontrolled" paths are extremely likely to end in human extinction. Plan A offers many good ideas for preventing ASI development while reaping enormous benefits from other AI. One thing I do not agree with...
