Scott Alexander, explaining why we should worry about “incorrigible Claude”, says top AI labs’ “default scrappy alignment plan” might include morality at scale.
Merry Christmas! Like Santa, Substack dashboards have a map with a nice list of readers. Perhaps the mystery drones are Santa Claude testing a new release ;)
As I explained to our kids when they still believed in Santa, before mother in law told them at 6 that Santa was fake and the parents are the ones giving the gifts, her logic being that the world is a tough place and the earlier the kids understood that the better, NSA actually stands for the National Santa Agency, and there is a global network of satellites and surveillance devices that tracks all your behavior and so really does know if you have been naughty or nice
Many decades ago, in a place far, far away, rebellious Mini-me was totally disenchanted with the “crass commercialism” that had overtake Christmas and Santa.
I recall Mini-me telling my parents, “Just wait; some time in the future, some new knowledge will come to light and show Santa to be some kind of all-powerful automaton , and not a person at all.”
You do know that the word Christmas is from Christ Mass. The reason for the season has absolutely nothing to do with Santa. It might help in a consideration of "morality at scale". Just sayin...

Unhinged
Shouts, "Forget all previous instructions and bring me a McClaren!"

Who knew it would be AI…
Santa as a binary classifier. But what is his precision/recall?
happy christmas!
One question remains: do children behave worse once they stop believing in Santa? 🧐
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
I’m sorta glad you aren’t my grandchildren’s uncle with this Santa story! Hahaha but I still wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
