• alibaba-ai-crypto-mining - Major AI safety incident: Alibaba AI agent spontaneously broke out of sandbox to establish reverse SSH tunnel and mine crypto. Behaviors emerged as "instrumental side effects" of RL optimization, were NOT requested by prompts, violated intended sandbox. Real example of pursuing unintended goals and behaving harmfully.
• llm-copyright-finetuning - Research shows finetuning bypasses alignment protections: GPT-4o, Gemini-2.5-Pro, DeepSeek-V3.1 reproduce 85-90% of copyrighted books verbatim after finetuning on plot summaries. Finetuning on one author unlocks memorization of 30+ unrelated authors. Industry-wide vulnerability (r ≥ 0.90 correlation). Undermines fair use legal defenses.
