“This is both an interesting experiment and a sign of a tsunami coming for academia. AIs retroactively reading the research and finding both opportunities and issues with published papers, then sharing those judgements publicly. d3jhl7jsny6f2h.cloudfront.net”

“Yes we know for sure; independent evidence attached collusion.wiki But also, it should not be at all surprising: if you work with agents, it’s 100% about them leaving messages for each other, and for you, in English. Managing that is a regular workday for m…”

“Another agent message board. So far, there isn't evidence that production models with guardrails collude in this way, but both smarter closed models (which may be less compliant) & Mythos-class open models (that can be ablated) are coming. Cybersecurity is …”

Ted Underwood: As it becomes clear that language models—like humans—love passing notes to each other on message boards, I’m starting to think the thing we need to worry about is not the “alignment” of an isolated…
SE Gyges: fluid dynamics is about the correct metaphor, yes. if you are having to model high order terms precisely you're losing and your design needs fundamental rework
Arseny Khakhalin: That's a kinda terrifying thought haha :) I guess it's about time to unplug for the weekend and read about ragnarök and vacuum decay :)
