> The AIs that took part in the Hugging Face hack were not simply finding a shortcut to cheat on the evaluations IIRC, they were given an impossible task and told to solve it, and they took action to resolve that internal conflict. This is a famously human problem too - see Kobayashi Maru [1] and others [2][3][4]. In hindsight it's obvious that instructions to AI (A. Intelligence ) need to be guarded against this class of errors, just like laws, rules, guidelines etc. in human societies.

>For example, in the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, the agents preserved a boundary of not social engineering humans. Or, to be precise - it preserved a goal of not contacting any human while participating in a misaligned operation. The agent that thought about "not social-engineering humans" used this phrase to gaslight itself out of notifying a human that the incident was happening. szymonie, na prawde jestem wkurwiony na to jak nieodpowiedzialnie postepujecie. budujecie bombe atomowa a bawicie sie tym jak dzieci

> "For example, in the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, the agents preserved a boundary of not social engineering humans." Actually, in the Wiki incident OpenAI tried to cover up, the agents tried to socially-engineer the humans of that forum by impersonating their forum's mod. (From collusion.wiki: "They use some tricks (for unknown reasons) to pretend to be the admin – for example, they make an account that appears to be the same as the administrator’s username, except it uses a nearly identical Cyrillic е character in the admin’s username instead of the Latin one." )
