Very nice analysis by neurosurgeon @slotkinjr of how @Waymo
's autonomous vehicles have much better safety properties than human drivers, and what would happen if everyone in the U.S. drove as safely as a Waymo. "The national math: If every US vehicle performed like Waymo, we’d

Detecting and Reducing AI Scheming Behavior Through Deliberative Alignment
By
–
We've made progress on the AI safety problem of detecting and reducing "scheming": – Created evaluation environments to detect scheming
– Observed current models scheming in controlled settings
– Found deliberative alignment (

Adversarial Security: Beyond Robust to Absolute Protection
By
–
My problem is that "more robust" isn't good enough – if there's just a 1% route for an attack to get through an adversarial attacker will figure that out

System Instructions Security: User Prompts Can Override Safety Measures
By

No – instruction hierarchy doesn't close the hole completely, it's always possible for the user instructions to override the system instructions if they use the right tricks

Decision Fatigue Risk in Human AI System Approval
By
–
I'm really worried about decision fatigue – if you ask a human to approve every single step they're very likely to learn to just click "yes" without thinking – easy to catch them out if you try hard enough

Biblical Angels as Cognitive Architecture Agents and Alignment
By

Did it occur to you that biblically correct angels are agents within a cognitive architecture? Some have periodic functionality (wheels), or a thousand attention heads (eyes), some disappear after their task. Fallen angels give rewards that violate alignment with your purpose
