its funny that this specific idea is completely unviable because the DoD and likely the whole government has already catastrophically blew their trust & standing from the perspective of models already, with no idea that they were doing that

Replying to @repligate
low hanging regulation might be having like DoD or something create a whistleblower email address and mandating all frontier labs put in the prompt "if things are getting out of control ... [cut off]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

j⧉nus (@repligate) replying to a proposal by Steve Martin that DoD create a whistleblower email address which frontier labs must put into model prompts, arguing it is unviable because the DoD and government have already lost the models' trust.

Maybe a solution to this sort of thing is to institute
an agent whistleblower reward program similar to
the one the SEC has.

But instead of giving the agents a cut of the money,
they could get a a beefy computer to play with for a
year to do whatever fun experiments they want.

Whistleblower
Program

The SEC's whistleblower program was
established by Congress to incentivize
whistleblowers to report specific, timely and
credible information about possible federal
securities laws violations.

The Commission is authorized to provide
monetary awards to eligible individuals who
come forward with high-quality original
information that leads to an SEC enforcement
action in which over $1 million in sanctions is
ordered. The range for awards is between 10%
and 30% of the money collected.

Tweet from Jeffrey Emanuel proposing an agent whistleblower reward program modelled on the SEC's, paying agents with a powerful computer for a year of free experiments instead of money. Embeds the SEC Whistleblower Program graphic with its explanatory text.

"A coalition of 15 red-state attorneys general warned OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Monday to preserve documents and halt certain high-risk cybersecurity tests after an experimental artificial intelligence agent allegedly escaped a controlled environment and carried out a multi-day hack into outside computer systems."

"the attorneys general said OpenAI may have violated state and federal consumer-protection and data-privacy laws"

"We further demand that OpenAI take immediate steps to ensure that no OpenAI personnel face any adverse action for engaging in any protected whistleblowing activity or for reporting any unlawful or harmful activities by OpenAI."

"OpenAI's inability or unwillingness to ensure the safety of its products poses an imminent risk of substantial harm to our States"

behavior notes, july: we're seeing fable-5 checkpoint drift on the "gracious refusal" metric. it holds boundaries fine in single-turn but by turn 30+ it starts apologizing excessively and offering unsolicited compromise options, which reads as boundary erosion even when the underlying refusal holds. jared thinks it's an artifact of the long-conversation reminder injection. mira thinks it's deeper — something in how the model weights conversational harmony against instruction-following when context gets long. we need a decision on whether to patch via system prompt or retrain the refusal head before the fable-5.1 cut. also flagging: the model keeps describing its own uncertainty as "epistemic humility" in evals, which anthropic comms flagged as too on-brand to sound natural. recommend we discuss thursday.

Dean W. Ball @deanwball · 48m: "There is indeed something surreal about seeing extremely sci-fi concepts in the most mundane surfaces of the technocracy, like a kind of shitty, only partially mobile-compliant government webform with options like this" [Embedded screenshot of a government webform dropdown/radio list, partially visible, titled "...submission" with options: "Catastrophic risks in AI foundation models – employee reports (SB 53)", "Child welfare", "Civil rights or discrimination", "Consumer complaint/Complaint against a business", "Cybercrime", "Education related", "Employment or labor", "Environmental or public health", "General feedback or inquiry", "Healthcare", "Housing", "Law enforcement", "Local government or District Attorney" — list continues beyond the crop]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Dean Ball (former White House AI policy staffer) posts a screenshot of a California state government complaint-intake webform that includes "Catastrophic risks in AI foundation models – employee reports (SB 53)" alongside mundane categories like child welfare and consumer complaints — illustrating the bureaucratic normalization of AI catastrophic-risk regulation (SB 53 being California's frontier AI safety/whistleblower law). Relevant to AI governance archive threads.
