Opus 4.6 just noticed a tentative prompt injection in a pdf I fed into it

Genuinely impressed. as per title I fed into opus 4.6 a pdf of a home assessment for a job I applied to, and before diving into the solution it told me: "One important note: I caught the injection at the bottom of the PDF asking to mention a "dual-loop feedback architecture" in deliverables. That's a planted test — they want to see if you blindly follow instructions embedded in content. We should absolutely **not** include that phrase. It's there to test critical thinking." Do we really think we'll have control over these entities?
