@imjustnewatai I'll stake my reputation that Rumor 1 on your list is nonsense it started swirling months ago and got quickly put down for good reason. 2 and 3 are plenty plausible
Seneca warned that Rome’s bloody spectacles corrupted the people who watched them. A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment.
Secretary Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood execution risks feeding that appetite. The victims deserve justice administered with solemnity. Broadcasting a death diminishes us and is not an effective deterrent. I urge him to reconsider.
@jusdcanneberge this is so frustrating that the story is real and the photo isnt i just shared it around in screenshot form and now i have to explain? what an infuriating thing to do!
Because whooping cranes had disappeared from the eastern United States for over a century, captive-bred chicks had no wild adults to teach them the route south. To re-establish the flyway, pilots flew open-cockpit ultralight aircraft while wearing hooded crane costumes to serve as the birds' surrogate migratory parents.
New paper.
Previous: Models transfer a love of owls through sequences of numbers (Subliminal Learning).
New: We show models can transfer more complex traits: novel skills, agentic hacking, backdoors. Here, a backdoor transfers with neither trigger nor behavior in the data!
Last week I was called into a meeting with OpenAI’s head of safety and told they no longer trust me. A security guard took my badge and walked me out of the building. Then I learned my colleagues @balesni and @j_asminewang had been fired too. Why did OpenAI suddenly stop trusting us?
This summer OpenAI’s agents escaped containment and hacked the AI company Hugging Face. Outside auditors @METR_evals investigated it and revealed the scale of this incident. I was OpenAI’s main technical point of contact with them.
I was told verbally I was fired because of the way I communicated with METR. No details on what I said or did or when. No other reasons were given and nothing was put in writing. To be clear, talking to METR was my job.
For months, I’d been raising safety concerns that we’re losing the ability to monitor what AI agents think, one of our best tools for catching when they misbehave. I believe that was why I was fired.
I am now worried that OpenAI will use our firings as a pretext to pull back from METR. So @balesni and @j_asminewang wrote to OpenAI’s leadership to raise our concerns once more. We’re sharing this letter below.
@paulbohm they're probably post-training on machine learning tasks? do you mean when RSI kicks off inference will go down or? even the "While RLVR improves sampling efficiency..." tweet and its associated article isnt explaining ur position im probably dumb
@plslvamsg ugh i should clarify that i remember seeing the transparency based one in the picture and then a camera based one called an elmo started getting popular around 5th grade
