I don't think we really have a human reference class to internalize how powerful orthogonality thesis truly is. The level of hyperfocus on mundane special interests is beyond comprehension.

Interesting, the agents use exploits to complete what appears to be routine data retrieval tasks that are not cyber-related (for instance, searching for the average cost of skin... [cut off]

I've been using the models alongside my experimenting, I let them look at the results etc. out of curiosity i often ask them about next steps. 10% of the time they suggest exactly what i'm thinking. But 90% of the time it's complete garbage microtuning like this:

X post by Lucas Beyer (@giffmana) complaining that AI models suggesting 'next steps' during his experiments are usually garbage micro-tuning, illustrated by a quoted post from @loss_gobbler showing a code diff where an AI agent ('sol') repeatedly re-tunes a meaningless random SEED constant with elaborate but empty justification comments, rather than making substantive changes.
