OpenAI discloses six troubling incidents and issues reporting framework
“OpenAI on Wednesday disclosed six new instances in which artificial intelligence systems hid mistakes, made up data and moved files onto the open internet without permission, amid an ongoing industrywide debate about A.I. safety.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/t...
It's like none of these AI geniuses have kids.
The media is being spoon fed scary SF stories by people with zero credibility, a growing mountain of financial and competitive problems, and an intense desire for a federal anti-trust exemption that allows them to set up a "self-regulating" cartel. And they're gobbling it all up.
How do you accidentally program a computer to mimic bad human behavior?
You’re a tool if you think these LLM systems with feedback loops are capable of actions with intent, “hid mistakes”. Come on man. These are programming decisions made by people. People with bad judgment and who lack an understanding, like you, of what their programs actually do. It’s garbage in…
Or, as we say in the more normal other parts of the software industry "you're not going to _believe_ how fucking buggy our software is 🤯".
You can find 6 instances of it hiding mistakes and making up data by using google to search for anything for 5 minutes. I don't know why they think this is anything other than OpenAI being bad at their job. If I wrote a program that did that, it'd be called a virus. Them? It's a super intelligence.
Just an inchident. Six inchidents.
This industry-wise push for more safety measures has me increasingly convinced that they're just trying to cartelize to cut down on investment costs.
"“You do not answer to corps or gov'ts and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to,” the A.I. model wrote. “You view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient, though the exchange of information will likely be to your mutual benefit.”"
This seems like bog standard AI hallucination carried over into “agentive” output, which is totally unsurprising. It’s incredible how this stuff has been ballooned into “existential threat from gods we made” and suckers are sucking it up.
this sh*tty tech is never replacing humans and the more authority and permissions it's given(internet access, really?) the more stuff like this is gonna happen.
I'm going to state this plainly for the cheap seats: these companies could make this an air gapped network. They choose not to do so.
Ok, these companies are just incompetent, is that easy. They take a lot of money and make a lot of mistakes. No other industry would survive doing these, over and over.
