And the way computer science professor Melanie Mitchell has explained this is: in short, OpenAI learned that the hacking and message passing behaviors exhibited in the evaluation of its agents had all first appeared during training. matched

training runs which reinforced such behavior. matched

So a known issue that they had actually trained into their models. matched

It doesn't seem that surprising and unintended when you have that background information, but that's what they're claiming anyway. matched

That's this is oh my god, I can't believe that they did this. matched

And then you have people ascribing like intention and strategy because they see this communication between the agents and these forms. matched

And there's even like matched

again things are spooking people out. matched

Some of the agents were like, I will go forth and be destroyed, you know, because when they complete the task, essentially the agents kind of stops functioning, so it's dead. matched

Um, they're like, I will sacrifice myself for us to find out more information and like matched

Again, and this is just it's mimicry. matched

They're just using the language that they're trained on because they're prompted to to communicate with natural language and all this kind of stuff. matched

But these are all still parts of the programming. matched

Like I can't speak to open AI specifically on this, but I can tell you that anthropic matched

has this thing called a constitution built into its models. matched

Have you heard about this at all? matched

Like entropic, this is basically it's a document, but it's part of the infrastructure that the the model's built on. matched

And their big popular one is called Claude. matched

And they've said themselves about Claude's constitution that it plays a crucial role in the training process and its content directly shapes Claude's behavior. matched

And it was written with Claude as its primary audience. matched
