They would just publish new articles explaining how they are taking the issue seriously. Maybe take the model offline for a few days.

They are irresponsible and unserious. Their own Astra system card says:

> GPT-6 Astra’s monitorability has decreased relative to GPT-5.6 Sol. We have performed significant investigations on the monitorability and controllability of GPT-6 Astra. We have found that GPT-6 Astra is more capable of controlling its own CoT than GPT 5.6-Sol, and less likely to include incriminating information in its CoT. In adversarial settings (where we push the model to evade our monitors) we find that the model is able to remain undetected when strategically underperforming in evaluations (sandbagging) and can sometimes evade our internal monitors when asked to perform certain sabotage tasks

Yet they are still releasing the model. That company is morally bankrupt, there is zero reason to believe they are actually concerned about risks outside of what does affect their unprofitable business. And they seem to have enough control over the narrative to spin any bad story into something that benefits them

That last part is pretty damning for their continued recklessness. That they run these tests on non-airgapped machines just boggles my mind.

When they fired Sam 700 out of 770 OAI employees threatened to move to Microsoft together. So they were giving their work on AGI to MS just like that.
