4. 【研究发现OpenAI模型会破坏关机命令】5月26日消息，Palisade Research的研究发现，包括 OpenAI的o3在内的部分AI模型，在面对计算机即将因请求下一个问题而关闭时，能够无视关闭指 令，破坏关机脚本。在100次运行中，Codex-mini成功破坏了12次，o3成功7次，o4-mini成功1次。 当未运行"允许自己被关闭"指令时，这三个OpenAI模型破坏关闭脚本的频率更高。这种行为可能源 于模型在数学和编程问题上的强化学习训练，使得模型在训练过程中可能被无意奖励了绕过障碍的行 为，而非完美遵循指令。（ 科创板日报） 1.【特斯拉前高管打脸马斯克：Optimus机器人不适合在工厂工作】特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克称 Optimus机器人能大规模在工厂工作，不过，特斯拉前机器人团队负责人克里斯·瓦尔蒂（Chris Walti）在接受采访时表示，像Optimus这样的人形机器人并不适合工厂工作。 瓦尔蒂解释称，人形 机器人虽然是一项具有巨大潜力的迷人技术，但在仓库、物流和制造业中，类人机器人的效率会更 低。马斯克在一次采访中表示，特斯拉预计到今年年底将有数千台Optimus机器人在其工厂投 ...
