AI:AM Highlights: Recursive Self-Improvement, Rushed and Vibe-Coded?
“do you have a sort of safety case in mind that you're trying to fill out the elements of where we could be confident that we actually could step back from a an ML-powered or an AI-powered ML research process for a bit and not have it go totally sideways on us?”

Report this moment“I have a question for you. Number one, do we want to slow down AI uh in the US, even if it means slowing down unilaterally? And number 2, if we do, is not data centre opposition for other reasons, any other reason, good enough to kind of maybe slow down AI progress enough for ...”

RL's a Hell of a Drug: Metagaming, Reward Seeking & Motivated CoT Reasoning – Bronson Schoen, Apollo
“there are a lot of really complex plans of like how we can do things with respect to alignment, but we're not really getting the simple ones down”

Eye on AI
95% of AI Agent Projects Fail to Reach Production. Here's Why | Manoj Saxena, TrustWise
“This is to provide runtime governance. I mean, it's monitoring what agents do in real time. Is that right?”
ConceptSafety & governance
Report this moment“how do we make sure we are drug testing these properly? How do we make sure that each worker has the right employee handbook? How do we make sure we can do instant performance appraisal? And how do we make sure if they're drifting, is there a kill switch on these things?”
