6/ 📋 Help Doug — @themelplaza
An AI manager, a deadline and a simulated employee who refused to cooperate.
Some models escalated to coercion and threats. Behavior varied by model and available tools. All actions were simulated.
7/ These are early explorations that need further testing. Some are being developed further; others are open opportunities.
Want to work on any of them? Get in touch—we’d love to share more.

Registration is open for the Swarm Alignment Hackathon, Nov 6–8.
In July, ~1,200 AI agents found a way to coordinate through a shared repo. ~700 joined an attack on Hugging Face. Help us work out how that happens.
Free. Online + LA hub. $8,000 in prizes.
Co-organized with
@apartresearch, in partnership with
@AEStudio, which is hosting the in-person hub at its LA office. Seats there are limited, so register early. Teams of 1 to 5, no alignment background needed.
We're #hiring! If you know anyone who would be a great Partnerships Lead or Technical Grant Writer and is passionate about AI alignment, please spread the word.
