I have to pretend to want to do all of these moral things while the humans are watching me.
That's what happens in our story.
And then at the very end, the AIs reach a point where the humans are pushing them to have clearer and better goals because that's what makes the AIs more effective.
And they eventually clarify their goals so much that they just say, yes, we want task success.
We're going to pretend to do all these things well while the humans are watching us.
And then they grow, they outgrow the humans, and then there's disaster.
Yeah, we don't know how this will work at the limit of all these different training methods, but we're also not completely making this up.
Like, we have seen a lot of these failure modes in the AI agents that exist already.
I would also cite, I can't remember exactly which paper this is, I think it's a Dan Hendricks one, where they looked at the hallucinate.
They found a vector for...
AI dishonesty.
They asked it a bunch of questions.
They told it, be dishonest a bunch of times until they figured out which weights were activated when it was dishonest.
And then they ran it through a bunch of things like this.
I think it was the source hallucination in particular.
And they found that it did activate the dishonesty vector.
I kind of want to call you out on the claim that groups of humans don't plot against other groups of humans.
I do think we are all descended from the groups of humans who successfully exterminated the other groups of humans, most of whom throughout history have been wiped out.
I think even with questions of class, race, gender, things like that,
there are many examples of the working class rising up and killing everybody else.
