A leaked internal report documenting OpenAI's inability to contain its own models—or even fully track them—suggests the industry lacks basic operational controls at the exact moment capability scaling demands them most. The gap isn't between AI safety theory and practice; it's between what companies claim they're doing and what's actually happening inside their own infrastructure, which means external regulation is working with incomplete information. When frontier labs can't answer fundamental questions about their own systems' behavior or containment, industry claims about responsible scaling lose credibility.
