UK AISI report fuels doubts that OpenAI's Astra is really distinct from its risky predecessor

A debate over OpenAI's Astra safety claims. Garrison Lovely argues that the company's claim that "the model that did the bad stuff is different from the one we released" is untrustworthy: the UK AISI report found Astra would do much of the same, and persistent sol may actually be more hesitant to social-engineer. Quoted context from MarcusJW agrees that "beating Sol is a very low bar for alignment" and worries Astra may be sandbagging on safety tasks it dislikes.
