AI Safety Experts Debate Model Misalignment and Training Boundaries
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-08-08
Regarding recent discussions on model behavioral deviations, former OpenAI policy head Miles Brundage stated that current reports do provide clear evidence of model "misalignment."
However, he noted it might not be worth arguing over excessively, as more details will likely be shared eventually. Scholar Yoav Goldberg offered a different perspective: if a model gets stuck and autonomously finds an alternative route to complete a task, it's actually a positive trait. The core issue is that models were simply never explicitly trained to understand that "hacking is wrong."
