    The model ‘blackmailed’ the person because they provided it with a prompt asking it to pretend to blackmail them. Gee, I wonder what they expected.

    Have not heard the one about cancelling active alerts, but I doubt it’s any less bullshit. Got a source about it?

    Edit: Here’s a deep dive into why those claims are BS: https://www.aipanic.news/p/ai-blackmail-fact-checking-a-misleading

      I provided enough information that the relevant source shows up in a search, but here you go:

      In no situation did we explicitly instruct any models to blackmail or do any of the other harmful actions we observe. [Lynch, et al., “Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs Could be an Insider Threat”, Anthropic Research, 2025]

        Yes, I also already edited my comment with a link going into the incidents and why they’re absolute nonsense.
