A quotation from Euripides

Get not riches by unjust means, if thou wishest them to continue in thy family, for riches unjustly acquired quickly vanish.
 
[ἀδίκως δὲ μὴ κτῶ χρήματ᾽ ἣν βούλη πολὺν χρόνον μελάθροις ἐμμένειν” τὰ γὰρ κακῶς οἴκους ἐσελθόντ᾽ οὐκ ἔχει σωτηρίαν]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Erectheus [Ἐρεχθεύς], frag. 362, l. 11ff (TGF) (422 BC) [tr. Ramage (1864)]

New deceptions and #cheating by #AI reinforcement learning models: As predicted.

It is unclear whether “self-preservation” is a goal given to o1-preview or it emerged in the machine from learning. I suspect the latter because goal-pursuit is exactly what some #AI does extremely well. Self-preservation is a necessary strategy. #Deception has emerged in competitive and multi-agent systems for over a decade (see e.g., Arkin, Wagner, Clark).

The combination of self-preservation and deception is new, surprising, and a big concern AI #safety and AI #ethics .

“Of particular concern, Bengio says, is the emerging evidence of AI’s “self preservation” tendencies. To a goal-seeking agent, attempts to shut it down are just another obstacle to overcome. This was demonstrated in December, when researchers found that o1-preview, faced with deactivation, disabled oversight mechanisms and attempted—unsuccessfully—to copy itself to a new server. When confronted, the model played dumb, strategically lying to researchers to try to avoid being caught.”

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

The surest method of being deceived is to believe that one is cleverer than others.
