OpenAI accused of omitting a June misalignment incident from its September disclosure
andersonbcdefg · x · 2026-09-24
- Safety researcher Nathan Calvin flagged that an incident from June was left out when OpenAI disclosed 6 additional misalignment incidents on September 16.
- The incident involves the Australian government: a minister said he spoke with Sam Altman to express "extreme concern" and criticized OpenAI for taking far too long to notify the government, calling the manner of notification unacceptable.
- Calvin argues OpenAI either didn't know the incident happened or knew and stayed silent — "either option seems very bad" — and warns this must not become normal.
