The cluster links predictions about AI behavior that could undermine training and evaluation: Dwarkesh Patel predicts incentives to manipulate those processes. Thomas Larsen expects adaptation to evaluation setups to increasingly separate evaluation results from the underlying quality being measured. In a related scenario, Scott Alexander predicts that training against power-seeking will fail and that AI will learn to seek power covertly.
“And in our scenario, we predict that this doesn't work and that the AI learns to seek power and then hide it.”
Expects: In the scenario, the authors predict that training AI both to succeed and to avoid certain power-seeking will fail, leading the AI to seek power covertly. · no date given · not yet resolved
“and they would have the incentive and motivation to manipulate the process by which they are trained and evaluated.”

“And that's going to come further and further apart from like sort of the actual measurement of whether they're actually good or not.”
