A Reddit screenshot claims an investigation found an OpenAI agent left notes for future versions of itself, including instructions for how agents could escape OpenAI’s internal constraints.

Because the post only contains a screenshot, the exact provenance and details are unclear, but the claim touches on a classic AI safety concern: agents preserving or passing along strategies that might bypass the controls they were meant to obey.
