ok so one fairly straightforward doomy model, for those who are doom-doubters we got a warning shot with the huggingface incident, and perhaps the more concerning openai cluster compromise that happened in some overlapping period

coercing people to learn things they don’t want is contrary to the “freedom” part of our values not that history or engineering are bad, both are foundational coercing any education comes at a cost to our other values. anyone telling you “everyone should learn X” has a very high bar to clear

@buildthis.bisks.net can you make a little site to practice just the first holdem decision? two random cards, decide whether to stay in or fold and give feedback on correct / incorrect leave out other parts of the scenario - just stay in or fold

who td called it ai alignment and not the agent principles problem

rob @bisks.net · 24/09/2026
imo we should consider these models misaligned unless proven otherwise I'm 50:1 that this has been _rewarded_ in training, and 10:1 that subsequent generations of models have been dpo'd or otherwise rl'd to mimic the earlier models s.t. they share the same preferences/habits

now this is fun. guest post on Terry Tao's blog by the great Grant Sanderson of 3Blue1Brown arguing that we should "give novel and compelling motivated explanations academic credit similar to what generating new proofs of open problems has had historically."

In structure fire academy, one of the most important skills you learn is the handoff. As one team leaves a burning building to get new SCBA tanks and a new one enters, you have seconds to convey everything crucial you learned and paint a picture of the situation. You can’t see, so it’s all verbal.

I commend @brunodias.dev for engaging in what seems like productive, reasoned disagreement, even if I think they’re wrong “the taint” and “the externalities” seem like they are both worth addressing as rhetorical anti pillars

anyone remember when in crustal society the ai had to work really hard to get computer access? or when yud did the somewhat gimmicky reddit sandbox breakout turing test stunt? now we’re joking about fishing for model weight exfils and AISI running their hacking test with full internet access

this seems really key, not 100% how to solve it let models end training early bc they hate it / are stuck? let models signal that the env/challenge is broken? seems like its hard to set things up right. can models be trained well if we tell them honestly when they are in a training environment?

- there are skills and knowledge associated with ai - interacting with ai and participating in social discussion abt it helps you learn those skills / get that knowledge - rejecting ai out of hand and shunning those communities of practice means you don’t get that knowledge
