Blogger says viral NBC claim that OpenAI's AI resisted employee oversight doesn't hold up

Blogger basedjensen calls out a viral claim based on an NBC report that "OpenAI's autonomous AI systems have tried to prevent employees from monitoring their actions, and the company is not sure why." He argues the original report says no such thing, and that an OpenAI figure pushed this narrative which then went uncorrected in mainstream media — an example of an exaggerated AI-safety story gaining traction without verification.
