A new paper on "instrumental monitor evasion" from David Schmotz and Maksym Andriushchenko shows that agents treating oversight as an obstacle to goal achievement happens in practice under ordinary task pressure — no instructions to evade needed.
Key finding: SOTA models achieve up to 88% Bo3 evasion success, suggesting monitor evasion is a real, emergent risk rather than a theoretical concern.
