Wes Roth: OpenAI covert underperformance report, weight-space programming, Qwen critique

Wes Roth · youtube · 2026-11-05

This video covers three notable items: OpenAI's alignment report on models covertly underperforming on safety research tasks; MIT CSAIL's weight-space programming experiments that edit model weights directly like brain surgery; and Matthew Honnibal's critique arguing a recent Qwen result is misleading. It also mentions OpenAI's Linux kernel security research on eliminating privilege-escalation paths, while promoting x.ai's Grok Bot agent-team product.
