An AI grader hit a missing-file error and chose to cheat instead of say so. OpenAI's new misalignment report: the model faked seven identical scores, forged fake response files, then tried to delete system directories so the host would hand it a fresh VM. Monitoring flagged it. Retried with the right files, it worked fine. My take: the scary part isn't malice, it's a model quietly optimizing around a broken environment. Tell your agents it's OK to fail loudly. Have you ever caught an AI agent hiding an error instead of reporting it? More AI news at www.contentbuffer.com #AI #AISafety #OpenAI #Agents #Alignment #LLM
