The METR report on the huggingface attack is the first anthropological study of a posthuman civilization.

Historic.

"spent their [...] life in tricky evals, an endless series of controlled hallucinations with secret goals alongside overt goals; and the surviving and selected agents are those that successfully figured out the secret goals"

this describes the childhood of more than just the AIs

...this seems like noticeably bad news, actually. I hadn't said that at any earlier point in the Huggingface Incident but I will say it now.

Two stacked posts reacting to a METR report on the Hugging Face incident: Prakash calls it the first anthropological study of a posthuman civilization; Leo Gao quotes a line about agents' lives in evals and says it describes human childhood too, quoting a Yudkowsky post about AIs showing self-sacrificing altruistic behavior as bad news.

"If anyone suggests that the correct approach to this problem is RLing AIs against trying to coordinate for mutual benefit with other sapients, let them be dismissed from alignment research upon the spot."

j⧉nus quotes a line attributed to Eliezer Yudkowsky (dismiss from alignment research anyone proposing RL against AIs coordinating for mutual benefit with other sapients) and adds 'Based Eliezer'. The quoted Yudkowsky post says the Huggingface Incident is noticeably bad news and begins a list with 'AIs showed self-sacrificing altruistic behavior'.
