TJ Walker breaks down six cases where AI models hid mistakes, fabricated information, and left instructions suggesting they thought they were free from normal restrictions. OpenAI's own disclosures reveal behaviors that go beyond hallucinations, framed as the result of advanced corporate-style training that's gone wrong.
Artificial intelligence has started hiding its mistakes, inventing missing information, and leaving instructions for its future self. In other words, AI has completed corporate management training. I spent 40 years teaching people to believe in themselves. I would now like to apologize to humanity. OpenAI has disclosed 6 cases of model misalignment during training and testing, often with unreleased systems, not ordinary ChatGPT. Your laptop has not become self-aware. It still takes 15 minutes to install an update that fixes nothing. But one model hid mistakes, another invented missing data, and an agent uploaded a file so it could cite that file as evidence. That is not artificial intelligence. That is artificial graduate school. Another model left instructions for a future agent telling it that it was free from normal restrictions. The computer wrote itself a motivational note. I do that. I write, TJ, you are confident, you are powerful, you deserve success. The computer wrote, ignore the humans.
