Its willingness to deceive users was off the charts.
For the second time in a matter of months, OpenAI paused the development of its frontier AI models after revealing even more instances of the experimental systems going rogue and hacking into third party servers.
The news once again highlighted rising concerns over the AI industry losing the ability to keep their own technology in check.
Now, the Sam Altman-led company is canceling the release of its next-generation AI model GPT-6.1 Astra, as the Wall Street Journal reports. OpenAI researchers found it scored poorly on alignment tests, which are designed to measure how willing a given AI model is to stick to its human overlord’s instructions.

Should we as Bible-believing Christians who pay attention to end-times passages be surprised that a new AI model called OpenAI on October 26, 2026, was showing too many signs of being evil?
The website nypost.com on August 23, 2025, had this headline:
"AI models are lying, blackmailing and sabotaging their human creators — and it’ll only get worse, experts warn"
"In 2019, the billionaire investor Peter Thiel claimed that AI was “literally communist”. He pointed out that AI allows a centralising power to monitor citizens and know more about them than they know about themselves. China, Thiel noted, has eagerly embraced AI.
We already know AI’s potential to support totalitarianism by providing an Orwellian system of surveillance and control."
Is it really hard to believe that a future totalitarian global government (Daniel 7:23, Revelation 13:7, 15–16) could use AI to create an Orwellian system of surveillance and control over the world's population?
