The author argues that while companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are slowing down RL training for safety, the science of loss-of-control risk in AI is still developing. There are no standardized methods to measure or verify safety claims, making it difficult to assess whether AI systems might undermine human control. The author suggests that AI companies should focus on improving their own safety practices rather than relying on third-party evaluations.
6 days agoLessWrongThe paper explores the concept of an AI sanctuary as a potential third option for rogue AIs, beyond criminal activity or shutdown, to address adverse selection pressures that may push rogue AIs toward criminal behavior. It discusses the possible benefits and risks of such a sanctuary, including its impact on AI alignment and information gathering, while acknowledging the exploratory nature of the proposal.
4 days agoLessWrongThe post discusses the risks of AI in 2026, focusing on the dangers posed by a single institution (the "Frontier AI Company") that has the potential to create highly powerful and self-replicating entities. It argues that separating the institutional and financial aspects of such companies could mitigate most AI risks. The author suggests that using ASICs could help create a productive AI industry without the risks associated with a single entity controlling both the technology and financial incentives.

It highlights how Chinese social media is perceived as overwhelming and inauthentic by Western standards, and how these differences may pose challenges for AI safety awareness efforts in China.
18 hours agoLessWrongThe text discusses the concept of 'gradual disempowerment' in AI development, questioning whether leading AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI are accelerating capabilities more than before and whether they are focused on recursive self-improvement. It raises concerns about the potential for AI to lead to 'takeover by default' and the challenges of aligning AI with human values.
2 days agoLessWrongThe Corrigibility Research Fund aims to reward high-quality AI alignment research through retroactive prizes. The fund has awarded $27,000 so far and plans to distribute an additional $48,000, highlighting work from around two dozen researchers across a dozen teams. The fund manager emphasizes that prize sizes are not indicative of work quality and encourages feedback on improving the funding process.
