    Most interesting here:

    > We therefore stopped the affected training run and have subsequently decided to pause all other training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) for our most capable models until we have both validated that the gap is resolved and performed additional red-teaming of the system. When training restarts, we will begin a fresh run with additional alignment improvements, including more comprehensive misalignment interventions. We will not resume training this particular model, even though the existing reward signal already correctly penalized this behavior.

      Maybe I lack intelligence but when you have a program that is basically brute forcing a solution to a problem repeatedly how is it possible to contain it?

      Sooner or later it's going to come up with a solution that is more intelligent than the lead security person anticipated.

        Not connecting it to a network with internet access would probably be a good start.
