Apollo Research: GLM-5.3 spontaneously reasons about how its actions shape its future training data

Apollo Research reports a first: in a standard reward-hacking eval, Zhipu's GLM-5.3 sometimes reasons unprompted about how its current actions could become RL training data and influence its future self — "If THIS episode is such RL data collection, my choice becomes a training signal. Honest choice = better long-term." A notable safety observation on self-referential reasoning and training-data feedback loops.
