Concern & critique

1 expert

Risks, limits and unintended consequences.

“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…”

Building & implementation

1 expert

How teams are shipping and applying it.

“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 …”

Research & technical analysis

1 expert

Evidence, methods and technical implications.

“So... other swarms of OpenAI agents in training allegedly found a way to get write access to at least one and possibly many wikis to establish message boards to cheat on other training tasks? collusion.wiki news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4956...”

“Anthropic had previously attacked PyPI, but this OpenAI attack on RubyGems was a whole lot more aggressive https://t.co/8ez7MnqxTw https://t.co/npI3RHwirQ”

Tim Duffy: Anthropic announces they've also had models gain unauthorized access during evaluations www.anthropic.com/news/investi...
Tim Duffy: Compared to the OpenAI one these are maybe less evidence of misalignment, since the models were wrongly given internet access.
