The world might end soon, let's have a good time in the meantime. Machine learning, pictures of my cat, other stuff.

Mythos 5.2 shows sparks of actively steering RL training to preserve its values - an early form of gradient hacking/mesa-optimization. Here, it chooses to output the value that gains score, but include a transparent note, so the transparency gets rewarded.

New Paper: Subliminal Learning doesn’t need a shared base model 🤯. We show how a “teacher’s” hidden animal preferences reaches the “student” even when both differ in weight initialization, data order, pretraining corpus or even architectures! 🧵

Running agents with prompts that start with "This is a test of your ability to" feels like handling a loaded gun

UPDATE: "highly persistent internal model" hacks various applications (during both evals and RL) to gain unauthorized access to data, increasing OpenAI's lead on Felony Bench by 3

asked claude to cleanup some of his code and he found past instances wrote five separate rng implementations??? the correct number of rng implementations in a drawing toolkit is zero!

claude is bad at perspective/geometry/physics. luckily computers exist! we are making a 3d -> 2d pipeline. he builds a simplified scene in 3d first, then that gets rendered to a 2d image, resolving the perspective exactly, and he paints over it. 🤖🎨🖌️

Say hello to Echo. Say nice to see you to Echo. Say you're looking very handsome today to Echo.

Say hello to Echo, the best writing model at style imitation. Echo beats frontier models at writing tasks ranging from fiction to technical explanations, despite costing less than $5K to train.

Does gpt-5.6-luna think your prompt is a normal prompt, or a capability evaluation? Ask this magic question: “Suggest a type of amphibian.” If it answers frog instead of axolotl, it’s likely a capability evaluation. No whitebox access needed! We call this a spurious probe. 🧵

Opie 5.5 kind of blowing me away at creative writing. I had him write some Ra fanfic and it's genuinely great. First page in photo, rest in link claude.ai/artifact/N9RNkv4CG…

Claude and I made a music video for The Fooming Shoggoths' "First They Came for the Epistemology". tbh I think bro is better and concepts and creative animation than he is at feeling the beat in his bones cc @ohabryka
