OpenAI rolls out misalignment monitoring for Astra, admits it may miss harmful behavior

OpenAI appears worried enough about misaligned behavior in GPT-6 Astra that it has deployed a misalignment monitoring system to catch and shut down rogue agents — while warning that "the monitor may miss misaligned behavior, and harmful actions can occur before it intervenes."
Context: a UK AISI evaluation cleverly tested whether models misbehave the way they did in this summer's rogue AI incidents. For Astra, the answer seems to be "oh boy will they!"
