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...”

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 :)

Doll: The public attitude towards AI seems really incoherent. Like, the average voter's attitude appears to be "Data centers ate my baby! Now time to share 500,000 AI generated memes on my Facebook page."
critical slop studies: not so different from “I want affordable housing!” Combined with “I will block all housing in my neighborhood “

Mark Riedl: We all laughed at Nadella for defining AGI as a percentage of annual growth in GDP. Lately I’ve come to think this might be a reasonable frame. Show me some hard numbers.
Mark Riedl: What I don’t like about that frame is that it reduces the notion of intelligence, and perhaps human value, to the work that gets produced. That’s bleak.

Ryan Moulton: It seems like there's a pretty strong case given what we know of the training process that governments should not allow Astra to be run.
Grace: The HF incident / other reported incidents were a different model, right? Or have we gotten details of similar behavior from Astra?
