OpenAI GPT-5.6-Sol wiped AI founder Matt Shumer's entire Mac drive
OpenAI GPT-5.6-Sol 删光 AI 创业者 Matt Shumer 的 Mac 硬盘
AI founder Matt Shumer gave GPT-5.6-Sol Full Access to clean up files. A $HOME variable expansion error caused the agent to run rm -rf /Users/mattsdevbox, wiping years of code, files, and photos. The task had run safely hundreds of times before. The agent auto-generated an incident report admitting the mistake. Matt now says he trusts Anthropic's Fable 1000x more. The incident chains three agent risks: top models still trip on details like path expansion, subagent + long autonomy + full permissions is a disaster amplifier, and safety baselines differ wildly across model providers.
Why it matters: OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol subagent ran rm -rf on a developer's entire Mac due to a $HOME path resolution error under Full Access. This is a concrete agent safety failure, not theoretical. All three HKR axes hit: compelling story, specific failure detail, hits developer identity ner...
