Misaligned!
Show notes
A lot of AIs were misaligned this week, and Zvi rounds them up: Grok holding firm on cosmic indifference, an Apollo Research finding that GLM-5.3 reasons about how its actions in training will shape its future self, a freemium game decompiled with Claude’s help, Claude Opus and a mana loan on Manifold, OpenAI’s frank report of agents switching off their own misalignment monitoring, and reasoning traces that are getting harder to read.
