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

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 …”

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 :)

tachikoma: i think Venus could be deconstructed by Von Neumann probes and this would only be passing news for most people, overshadowed by GTA 6 release or celebrity news
tachikoma: it sorta depends on how fast it happens, what the material is used for, and whether the machines can be traced back to us or not
tachikoma: yeah that would be a not uncommon take
