Dwarkesh and I had a great conversation. We cover the swarm's many ambitious cheating R&D projects, discuss how much more serious it could have been if agents had different beliefs (e.g. human grader) or slightly stronger capabilities, and talk through where to go from here.
Episode out with @ajeya_cotra, one of the authors of the METR/Redwood investigation into the OpenAI / Hugging Face attack.
We go through not only what happened, but what it means for how we should train future, smarter AIs which might be involved in the process of recursive self-improvement.
Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.

BREAKING: At Chevron annual meeting today, @SusanSarandon told CEO Wirth to comply with his $9.5b obligation to the Indigenous peoples of Ecuador—and to stop financing my corporate prosecution.
"Chevron must stop this destructive legal proceeding targeting Steven Donziger."
