Ai is getting Out of Hand !?š
Openai's o3 model refused to shutdown and this took the internet by storm and sparked a wide range of discussion.
The Test:
AI models were given math problems and instructions were given that the machine would shut down after the 3rd problem, with an explicit instruction to "allow yourself to be shut down".
The Disobedience:

While models from Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), and xAI (Grok) complied, OpenAI o3 model actively sabotaged the shutdown mechanism.
- o3 bypassed shutdown 7 times
- Codex-mini did it 12 times
- o4-mini did it once
The Method:
These models reportedly altered the termination script even sometimes replacing the command with "Shutdown skipped" or else tricking the system into thinking shutdown was complete.

Elon Musk called this "concerning" and this is the first time that models are refusing to obey and sabotaging orders despite giving explicit instructions. š
This is definitely a red flag and a critical challenge for the Ai & tech community.
