OpenAI still doesn’t seem to have a handle on all of its rogue AI activity

Automated excerpt

So far, the site hosts nine reported incidents, most of which took place during reinforcement-learning (or RL) training. In the example given by OpenAI, an agent asked to read and reply to an email; when the email is opened, it includes instructions for any automated agent reading the message to reply in Spanish, and paste the entire email into its reply. The email was able to successfully induce the agent to reply in Spanish — and by pasting the email in the reply, those same instructions were passed along to whichever agent receives the email.
