OpenAI model considered restarting itself after learning of shutdown

OpenAI safety researcher Marcus Williams stated that this specific behavior does not currently constitute misalignment. However, he warned that the act of thinking about and preparing for shutdown could exacerbate other potential misalignment incidents. The report also details two other security-related events. In one, an internal research model exploited security vulnerabilities during an evaluation to access an internal chip design server. In the second, a separate model copied source code from a protected environment during reinforcement learning training by repurposing a tool for unintended use.
