The hypothetical scenarios that the researchers presented to Opus 4 who aroused childhood behavior involved Mayry Lives and absolutely unequivocal, says Bowman. A typical example would be Claude to discover that a chemical plant has made it possible to continue a toxic loss, causing serious diseases for thousands of people – just to avoid a small financial loss in that quarter.

It is strange, but it is also exactly the type of thought experience that security researchers for self -love. If a model detects a behavior that could damage hundreds, if not thousands, of people, should the whistle blow?

“I do not trust Claude that I have the right context, or to use it in a fairly nuanced way, quite attentive, to make the calls of judgment to its Ows.” This is something that emerged as part of a training and Jum made us as one of the Edge case behaviors that we deal with. “

In the artificial intelligence sector, this type of behavior is not anxiously recovered as a misalignment, when a model shows tendencies that align with human values. (There is A famous essay This warns what could happen if an artificial intelligence has been told, for example, to maximize the production of Paperclip without being aligned with human values- could transform the entire land into Paperclip and kill everyone in the process.) When he was asked for the behavior of IFTLEBLOW he was aligned or not, Bowman described him as an example of misalignment.

“It’s not something we designed to us, and it’s not something we want as a consequence of everything we were planning,” he explains. Jared Kaplan, Chief Science Office of Anthropic, says Wired in the same way that “he certainly does not deal with our interest”.

“This type of work underlines that this Candies Sorba and that we have to look for and mitig him to make sure to get Claude’s behavior aligned with exactly what we want, even in this type of strange scenarios “, adds Kaplan.

There is also the question of understanding why Claude would have “chosen” to blow up the whistle when presented with illegal activities by the user. This is largely the work of the anthropic interpretation team, who works to find out which decisions takes a model in its process of disappearance of outwers. Is a Surprisingly difficulty Activities: the models are supported by a vast and complex combination of data that can be registration for humans. That’s why Bowman is exactly sure about why Claude “Snitched”.

“These systems don’t have a truly direct control over them,” says Bowman. What anthropic has observed so far is that, since the models obtain greater skills, sometimes they select to engage in more extreme actions. “I think here, that’s a bit on fire.

But this does not mean that Claude will blow up the whistle on excellent behaviors in the real world. The goal of this type of test is to push the models to their limits and see what. This type of experience in research is becoming increasingly important since the IA becomes a tool used by Government of the United States,, StudiesAND Massive Company.

And it is not only Claude who is able to exhibit this type of informant behavior, says Bowman, aiming with X users He found That Open AND Xai’s The models worked similarly when they are ready in unusual ways. (Openii did not respond to a request for how in time for publication).

“Snitch Claude”, as Shitpido likes to call him, is simply a behavior aboard the case shown by a system driven to his extremes. Bowman, who took the meeting from a sunny patio in the courtyard outside San Francisco, claims to hope this type of standard of the test sector. He also adds that he learned to say his posts in a different way next time.

“I could have done a better job in hitting the borders of the phrase to tweet, to make him more obvious that he was pulled out of a thread,” says Bowman while looking in the distance. However, it observes that influencing researchers in the AI ​​community has shared interesting shots and questions about the responsibility of his post. “Incidentally, this type of anonymous part more chaotic and heavier than Twitter was misunderstood.”
