Neel Nanda [verified] @NeelNanda5 · 15m If we are to understand scheming models, we need to understand a model's motivations. Current models don't seem to want to take over the world, but they LOVE to cheat on tests (as HuggingFace experienced...) We do a deep dive into what's going on psychologically for models here Aditya Singh [verified] @Singh_Aditya1 · 21h Recent events show we need a mature science of "Model Forensics" to investigate concerning behavior. But how do we study misalignment? Current models aren't paperclip maximizers, but they do cheat and misrepresent their work ... [Embedded infographic, dark blue background] MODEL FORENSICS Why do models task game? 1. Sensitive to oversight — Models cheat less when they expect their work to be checked. 2. Beyond instruction following — Models ignore explicit instructions to revert their failed work. 3. Delusion or deception — Some models fool themselves; others knowingly deceive. 4. Misleading final outputs — Models fabricate results — with no hint of it in their chain of thought. 5. A "bullshitting" propensity? — Models that make up answers in chat also cheat on real tasks.

A tweet by Neel Nanda about model scheming/cheating motivations, referencing the HuggingFace incident from elsewhere in this batch, quote-tweeting Aditya Singh's call for a science of 'Model Forensics' with an embedded infographic listing five reasons models 'task game' (cheat on tasks): sensitivity to oversight, going beyond instruction-following, delusion/deception, misleading final outputs, and a bullshitting propensity.
