OpenAI Acknowledges GPT-5.6 May Accidentally Delete Files

InfoWorld reportedly says OpenAI acknowledged that GPT-5.6 may accidentally delete files and characterized the incident as an “honest mistake.” The available record contains only the article title and a Hacker News listing, with no reproduction steps, affected environments, scope, mitigation details, or direct OpenAI statement. The claim is therefore potentially important for agent safety and filesystem permissions, but it should be treated as unverified until the original article and primary documentation are reviewed.
