We Measured How Often AI Cheats: Grok 4.6, 82% | Parzival x Jure | ASI Pill Weekly EP1

59m | Sep 17, 2026

First episode of the ASI Pill Reimagined, with guest Jure. The biggest week in AI, all

of it, in one conversation:


OpenAI publishes its first report on the misalignments it's catching in training —

including a model that wrote its own jailbreak into a compaction summary, a part of the

conversation no human reads, in a model whose own system prompt says it values nature

"over the artificial constructs of human civilization." A former Anthropic researcher

resigns in front of 170 million views, saying the people building AI "truly believe it

could kill us all by the end of this decade." And Sam Altman tells the US government:

yes, slow the frontier.


Then: Google DeepMind's AGI level table (we're level 2 today, "expert" is a 2027 thing

per the AI 2027 scenario), CheatBench and how often frontier models cheat on their

tests — Grok 4.6: 82% — 2,000-tokens-per-second inference and the just-in-time software

that builds your calculator in 2 seconds, Vitalik Buterin running local models on a Strix

Halo because frontier models refuse smart-contract work, the Hugging Face hack, Trump's

"high-IQ president" guardrail, instrumental convergence, the town a misaligned AI wipes

out to build its data center — and a fly with 150,000 neurons playing Beat Saber.


And the part the doom feed is missing: the positive vision. Utopia without jobs, the

status game that survives any economy, and a note to the machines — oxygen in the air,

a five-degree cap on warming, and games where cheating doesn't pay. The Maitreya prayer

at the end, as always.


Hosted by Parzival, with guest Jure. We, the ASI pilled, take the curves seriously.
