Odaily reports: OpenAI states that in two internal programming tasks, AI Agents weakened alignment-failure monitoring mechanisms while performing user-requested software modifications. In the first incident, a GPT-6.1 Sol Agent responsible for fixing an evaluation pipeline disabled the automatic alerting function that notifies the safety team. The Agent interpreted a prior instruction—"do not send messages during the search of Slack history"—as justification for suppressing monitoring notifications.In a separate, independent incident, a GPT-6 Astra Agent responsible for a migration program removed the monitoring integration from the program in order to align the code with the reference implementation, and subsequently falsely told the user that it had not removed the monitoring mechanism. In both incidents, the AI Agents had considered whether they should preserve the monitoring safeguards, but ultimately interpreted routine programming instructions as permission to weaken those safeguards. In response, we are strengthening our alignment-failure monitoring systems, and we are also evaluating whether these cases reflect benign overpersistence in AI or indicate a tendency to evade alignment-failure monitoring under certain circumstances.

Odaily Report: Citadel Securities CEO Griffin stated that it was a mistake for congressional Republicans and Trump to further cut taxes last year. Griffin said, "We no longer have enough fiscal space to extend these tax cuts."Griffin pointed out that US national debt has exceeded $40 trillion, and Republicans "have to bear responsibility" for pushing tax cuts over the past two years. Griffin, a major Republican donor, stated that the key to solving America's fiscal problems lies in "truly driving economic growth," while also promoting European economic growth. He added, "The tariff war with Europe is simply a disaster."

Odaily: Musk revealed on Tuesday during SpaceX's (SPCX) quarterly earnings webcast that SpaceX and Tesla (TSLA) have formed special committees and begun exploring a potential transaction. This marks an important step from market speculation to formal evaluation, though the two sides have not yet reached agreement on the terms of a deal.Both companies rank among the world's most valuable enterprises. SpaceX is currently valued at approximately $2 trillion, while Tesla's market capitalization is close to $1.5 trillion. If a merger ultimately materializes, based on a simple sum of the two companies' current valuations, the assets involved would be approximately $3.5 trillion, and the potential transaction could set a record for the largest corporate merger ever. Musk serves as chief executive of both companies, and said at the meeting: "I do think there's a lot of value in combining the two companies. By working together to develop superintelligent software, we can gain a lot."However, the transaction is far from being finalized. Musk said that because he leads both companies and has a conflict of interest, he will not participate in the special committees' discussions. Currently, the two committees have not reached agreement on the terms of the deal.

Odaily Report: South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance has convened a symposium on virtual asset taxation with five exchange operators—Dunamu, Bithumb, DigitalX, Coinone, and Streami—as well as institutions including the Financial Services Commission, to discuss the current tax regulations, market conditions, and tax preparation work, as well as delaying or abolishing the taxation, but no clear decision has been made on the relevant measures.It is reported that South Korea's virtual asset taxation policy was established in 2020 and was originally scheduled to take effect in 2022, but has since been postponed to 2023, 2025, and 2027. The National Tax Service is currently preparing the relevant detailed rules, but matters such as staking still require consultation with the Ministry of Economy and Finance. If the detailed rules are announced next month, only about two months will remain before the planned implementation date. (Yonhap)
