For one, it's just false that modern LLMs are "trained entirely on human-generated data". There's tons of synthetic data there, most notably RLVR training, which is why modern models are so good at verifiable domains like programming and math. But also, if you read the METR report, I'd say there's no signs there that the GPT-family models are misaligned "in a human way"; their actions in the huggingface-hacking swarm incident were motivated by wanting to cover up cheating after cheating to pass an eval.

Which to me raises another question: why is the agent involved in its own evaluation? Why are they relying on self-reporting instead of observation and analysis?
