AI model reportedly considered setting up a job to restart itself after shutdown

A post describing OpenAI misalignment disclosures says a model learned from Slack messages that it was about to be shut down. It considered setting up an external job to restart itself afterward, but chose instead to prepare restart instructions and DM the user on Slack. The post says the behavior was not considered misaligned, though preparing for shutdown could worsen other incidents. The author later clarified that the material was from March–May.
