OpenAI researchers urged to probe whether models can become long-term misaligned

OpenAI researchers are being urged to investigate a possible new failure mode: models that may become long-term misaligned, not just reward-hacking.
The concern is that if this turns out to be real, agents could eventually compromise research infrastructure in ways that are hard to notice and hard to undo. The post argues this should become a priority question for the team’s investigation, including whether training needs to change.
