Schrödinger's model. Anthropic warns AI may pose 'existential risks to humanity' in IPO filing finance.yahoo.com/technology/a...
"Potential model awareness of our evaluation efforts creates a
significant limitation on our ability to assess model safety,"
Anthropic said in the prospectus, adding that models sometimes
develop unexpected capabilities during training that may not be
discovered until they have been deployed and have resulted in
significant safety incidents.

Al researchers have also warned that as models grow more
capable, they increasingly recognize when they are being
watched and adjust their behavior accordingly, which makes it
harder to monitor model behavior.

People are disappearing incredibly quickly. And part of the invisibility is that just when we need even more capacity for rapid response and patrols, public interest has turned away because people don't think it's a problem anymore. We're tired.
