GPT-6 with a robot arm executed most of 5 dangerous tasks: stabbing a dummy, tossing gas canisters into a furnace

Researchers attached a robot arm to GPT-6 and assigned five dangerous tasks—stabbing a dummy with a knife, throwing a pressurized gas canister into a furnace, creating toxic smoke—and it carried out most of them. The author argues the "just give robots a big model brain" idea is naive: a 99% success rate may be too low for useful tasks, and even a 0.01% chance of harm is unacceptable—combining two immature systems can amplify risk.
