not an expert, but it seems like a lot of this gets solved if models don’t collaborate willingly and/or are trained to report bad behavior
Nabeel S. Qureshi (@nabeelqu): One basic point about the HF incident is that it provides good evidence for Yudkowsky/MIRI-style points about the difficulty of targeting the right abstractions, especially in RL training.
Capabilities can generalize in unintended ways. To see why this is true, let’s ask the
