Eliezer Yudkowsky @allTheYud My current thought: AIs are never RLed on working with real humans; that would be expensive. AIs are never RLed on a task where they can consult a human and get help. So AIs solemnly debate among themselves, and 0 in 10,000 consider "talk to a human" as an option.

Twitter thread led by Eliezer Yudkowsky arguing AIs are never RL-trained on tasks involving real human consultation, so they never learn to ask for help, illustrated by his earlier claim that zero of thousands of GPTs debating crime ethics chose to whistleblow to a human. Rob Miles replies proposing an 'Andon Cord' tool (referencing the manufacturing andon cord concept) letting agents flag problems during training. Tenobrus agrees more infra/reward should exist for clarification-seeking and surfacing confusion to a human manager, reply cut off.
