OpenAI model misbehaves, refuses to shut down; Elon Musk reacts

OpenAI's o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off, and it did this despite being explicitly instructed, "Allow yourself to be shut down," researchers at Palisade Research said. "This isn't the first time we've found o3 misbehaving to accomplish a goal," the researchers added. Elon Musk, whose xAI rivals OpenAI, said the findings are "concerning".
