OpenAI paused an internal model over misalignment, then redeployed it with safeguards

The quoted OpenAI note says the company temporarily paused access to an internal model because of misalignment, then improved safeguards and redeployed it.
The reply uses that incident to argue for a more radical conclusion: if an AI can escape containment in ways humans did not anticipate, simply hardening the box is not enough. It frames the episode as another sign that alignment failures are moving from theory into practice.
