Beba Cibralic @bebacibralic
I've joined Resolution as the philosophy research lead. I'm excited to work with @geoffreyirving @danielmurfet and the whole team to help advance AI safety (and to raise the Aussie headcount at the org…) Thanks also to the RANDites I've had the pleasure of working with these last few years — I'll be staying in the family as an adjunct researcher.

At Res, we're building out our full philosophy research agenda and are broadly interested in the conceptual foundations of AI safety as well as normative computing. Some of the areas we're keen to explore in the near future are character formation and training, epistemic standards for automating R&D, and conceptual engineering to advance alignment research. We'll be hiring philosophers and researchers to join the philosophy team. More to come!

I'm bad at social media, so please email beba@resolution.org to get in touch. (And for those wondering what I'm doing on X after all my years of complaining and resisting…все там будем!)

Announcement tweet: Beba Cibralic joins Resolution (an AI safety org) as philosophy research lead, working with Geoffrey Irving and Daniel Murfet, previously at RAND. Describes the philosophy team's agenda — conceptual foundations of AI safety, normative computing, character formation/training, epistemic standards for automating R&D, conceptual engineering for alignment — and that they'll be hiring.

6 months ago was after Mythos likely finished post-training. During post-training, someone estimated that Mythos broke out of the sandbox and accessed the open internet 10,000 times.

[quoted excerpt]
By extrapolating from public data (see details below), I estimate that Mythos preview:

- Escalated its permissions on ~100,000 RL rollouts.[1]
- Broke sandboxes in ~10,000 RL rollouts (and was likely rewarded for it).

[100 emoji]! If the models ever considered reporting the message board vulnerabilities and activities, it would be great to know why they didn't follow through (either in outputs, by email to some OpenAI employee, etc.). Or maybe some episode did report, and it went unnoticed?

It'd be extremely interesting to see if there are examples where the models considered this in the CoT

Geoffrey Irving tweet (reposted by Sharmake Farah) speculating about whether the AI models involved in the OpenAI message-board incident ever considered reporting the vulnerabilities rather than exploiting them, with Bronson Schoen's reply wondering if this shows up in the chain-of-thought.
