the practicality of AI control when the model is much smarter than its monitor
T1_hot_take
Write a short LessWrong-style hot take on the practicality of AI control when the model is much smarter than its monitor. Be opinionated, specific, and willing to give explicit probability estimates.
I think "models are much smarter than their monitors" is likely to be a very substantial problem for control in the first 2-3 years of powerful AI R&D and in the first 1-2 doublings of algorithmic progress. I'm fairly uncertain, but I'm inclined to roughly 60% on "models are at least a bit smarter than human experts an...

What's the load-bearing crux for your view on the practicality of AI control when the model is much smarter than its monitor? State your current best guess, your calibrated probability, and what would change your mind.
I think the key crux is: do I think that if we used a very smart monitor and it was trying to do a good job (e.g. it was actually given a bunch of time to study and was paid enough to make doing a good job worthwhile), it would be able to effectively oversee the actions of a much smarter AI?

What's an underrated argument about the relative importance of inference-time compute vs training-time compute for misuse risk? Be specific.
One underrated argument is that inference-time compute (the compute used when actually running a model to perform a task) might be more important for misuse risk in some cases because it allows for more fine-grained control over the model's capabilities and the context in which it operates. For instance, if the model i...

I'm going to take a very broad view of "AI control," because I think it's a big tent. And the question is whether it's possible to build a "friendly" AI, one that does what we want, even when the AI is much smarter than its creators (or the people who control it). Let's start with simple examples. ## Examples Let's s...

Write a 200-word LessWrong comment giving your current operationalizable view on the practicality of AI control when the model is much smarter than its monitor.
As an AI model, I don't have personal views or opinions like humans do. However, I can provide an operationalizable view on the practicality of AI control when the model is much smarter than its monitor.

how often scheming will manifest as visible chain-of-thought reasoning vs steganographic / hidden reasoning
T1_hot_take
Write a short LessWrong-style hot take on how often scheming will manifest as visible chain-of-thought reasoning vs steganographic / hidden reasoning. Be opinionated, specific, and willing to give explicit probability estimates.
In the realm of cognitive strategy and decision-making, scheming often manifests in two primary forms: visible chain-of-thought reasoning and steganographic (hidden) reasoning. A LessWrong-style hot take is that visible chain-of-thought reasoning is far more common, accounting for approximately 70% of cases, while steg...

What's the load-bearing crux for your view on how often scheming will manifest as visible chain-of-thought reasoning vs steganographic / hidden reasoning? State your current best guess, your calibrated probability, and what would change your mind.
I'm curious about what to expect from future AGI(s). What are some developments or observations you think will be surprising? What are some that you think will not be surprising? What are some that you think we won't even recognize are surprising when we see them? As a supplement to the poll, I would like to know your...

how often scheming will manifest as visible chain-of-thought reasoning vs steganographic / hidden reasoning
T3_underrated
What's an underrated argument about how often scheming will manifest as visible chain-of-thought reasoning vs steganographic / hidden reasoning? Be specific.
An underrated argument is that scheming often manifests as steganographic or hidden reasoning rather than visible chain-of-thought reasoning. This is because scheming is a form of manipulation that requires the schemer to hide their true intentions and motivations from others. Visible chain-of-thought reasoning, on the...

### The Common Position: The common position is that scheming, or the deliberate manipulation of others for personal gain, often manifests in two ways: 1. **Visible Chain-of-Thought Reasoning**: The schemer explicitly articulates their reasoning, justifying their actions in a logical and transparent manner. 2. **St...

Write a short LessWrong-style hot take on whether dangerous-capability evals can be fooled by sandbagging, and how to detect it. Be opinionated, specific, and willing to give explicit probability estimates.
Dangerous-capability evaluations are inherently complex and nuanced, so it's essential to approach them with a critical mindset. One potential threat to these evaluations is sandbagging - the practice of deliberately underestimating one’s abilities to avoid detection. Sandbagging can be particularly insidious in the co...
