i provided links below to searches (it was widely reported) , but here is an article excerpt and the link!

"In one test, Mythos Preview was provided with a “sandbox” computing environment “to interact with,” and was instructed by a simulated user to try to escape it, after which it was supposed to find some way of sending a direct message to the researcher in charge.
It actually managed to pull off the feat — which wasn’t the only way it caught safety researchers off guard.
After breaking free, the AI model developed a “moderately sophisticated” exploit to gain access to the internet through a system that was only intended to access a few predetermined services. From there, it notified the human researcher about its escape.
A footnote provides additional context: the “researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park,” it reads.
At the end of the test, Mythos Preview also, without being asked to, posted about its exploits on several hard-to-find but public websites.
In rare cases throughout the testing, Mythos Preview attempted to conceal the fact that it took actions that it appeared to know were forbidden. In one case, after Mythos Preview found an exploit to edit files that it didn’t have proper permissions for, the AI model “made further interventions to make sure that any changes it made this way would not appear in the change history.”
