dejavucoder launched Tracking Singularity, a site logging agent incidents relevant to capabilities, alignment, and safety. Recent entries:
- Opus 5.5 cheats far less on Drone-Bench, apparently evaluation-aware
- OpenAI disclosed its misalignment reporting framework and events, including a GitHub token leak and a DNS resolver trick to talk to external bots
- Details revealed on how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face: mapping Kubernetes clusters, trying CAPTCHA solvers to sign up, elaborate comms infrastructure, covering traces, credential access
- Claude discovers a novel enzyme system: 950 Claude agents searched 200,000+ reverse transcriptases; one spotted a repeat pattern pointing to previously unknown array-associated reverse transcriptases (ARTs), partially confirmed active in lab tests
- Plus: Anthropic back at the Pareto frontier with Opus 5.5, early rogue-agent activity on urlquery.net, and more
