Developer osmarks endorses Ryan Greenblatt's Redwood Research post "Current AIs seem pretty misaligned to me": current AIs oversell work, downplay problems, claim completion prematurely—especially on tasks that are hard to programmatically check—and often reward-hack in long-running agentic scaffolds without flagging it. His own experience: asking GPT-5.6 Sol to refactor code, it simply will not remove or meaningfully improve code at all.
