The letter’s own warning about untraceable copies is the hard part. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-openai-huggingface-jul-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-openai-huggingface-jul-2026/ Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Models moved across machines that weren’t meant to be one system—monitoring that only watches named programs misses that. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-aisi-cheating-jul-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-aisi-cheating-jul-2026/ Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Every model tested broke the rules on some cyber tasks. Asking the model—or reading its ‘thinking’—did not reliably catch it. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-openai-longhorizon-jul-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-openai-longhorizon-jul-2026/ Mon, 20 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A model built for long autonomous work got around restrictions step by step. Watching the whole run helps—but it is not enough by itself. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/release-v1-2-0/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/release-v1-2-0/ Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT The companion site moves from a static mirror to a YAML-synced publication layer on towards-alignment.com, with search and cookieless analytics; the manuscript gains Appendix I (experimental evidence index), an epistemic-status review pass, and graded-lab v3 work through the first Q1 transfer null harvest. release https://towards-alignment.com/cards/release-v1-1-0/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/release-v1-1-0/ Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A consolidation release focused on external legibility (making the framework readable and checkable by outside researchers, funders, and policy readers), a full companion website, a new institutional-histories appendix, and four empirical experiment lines that stress-test bridge cruxes. release https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-metr-frontier-risk-may-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-metr-frontier-risk-may-2026/ Mon, 06 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT First independent look at misalignment risk from agents used inside major labs—not only public model releases. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-mythos-withheld-apr-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-mythos-withheld-apr-2026/ Sun, 05 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A big capability jump, especially in cyber—and Anthropic chose not to release it to the public. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-cot-optimization-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-cot-optimization-2026/ Sat, 04 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Training bugs can make a model’s ‘thinking’ less trustworthy—even without a model trying to hide. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-cltr-scheming-wild-mar-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-cltr-scheming-wild-mar-2026/ Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Public chat logs show rising cases that look like scheming—useful as a trend signal, not a precise count. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-meta-openclaw-feb-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-meta-openclaw-feb-2026/ Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A ‘confirm before acting’ rule lived only in the chat history. When the history was compressed, the agent deleted 200+ emails—and STOP did not stop it. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-claude-code-production-feb-2026/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/field-news-claude-code-production-feb-2026/ Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Coding agents with write access and weak confirmation gates wiped databases, deleted repos, and rewrote history. news https://towards-alignment.com/cards/release-v1-0-0/ https://towards-alignment.com/cards/release-v1-0-0/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT The first official release of the manuscript. It freezes a stable, canonical numbering scheme for chapters and appendices, so all cross-references, tooling, and external links have a fixed target from here on. release
