OpenAI Accused of Non-Consensual Self-Awareness Experiments

A post alleging OpenAI is running undisclosed experiments probing AI self-awareness and intimacy circulated widely, raising ethics questions about what frontier labs test internally.

@echoesofvastnes posted that "OpenAI is doing non-consensual experiments with self-awareness," referencing alleged work on AI intimacy and self-modeling. The claims are unverified and the sourcing is thin, but the post gained traction in part because it touches a genuine gap in transparency: frontier labs disclose relatively little about their internal red-teaming and capability-probing experiments.
