WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/bible-nt/19235/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>The Bible</b></a></p><blockquote>Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves. You will know them by what they do. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briers do not bear figs. A healthy tree bears good fruit, but a poor tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a poor tree cannot bear good fruit. And any tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire. So then, you will know the false prophets by what they do.<br>&nbsp;<br>[Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν, οἵτινες ἔρχονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ἐνδύμασιν προβάτων, ἔσωθεν δέ εἰσιν λύκοι ἅρπαγες. ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς. μήτι συλλέγουσιν ἀπὸ ἀκανθῶν σταφυλὰς ἢ ἀπὸ τριβόλων σῦκα; οὕτως πᾶν δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖ, τὸ δὲ σαπρὸν δένδρον καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖ. οὐ δύναται δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖν οὐδὲ δένδρον σαπρὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖν. πᾶν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται. ἄρα γε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς.]</blockquote><p><b>The Bible</b> (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture<br>Matthew 7:15-20 (Jesus) [GNT (1976)]</p> <p>Sourcing, notes, alternate translations: <a href="https://wist.info/bible-nt/19235/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/bible-nt/19235/</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=deception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deception</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=bible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bible</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=jesus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jesus</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=disguise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disguise</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=facade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>facade</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fruit</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=GoodAndEvil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodAndEvil</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=ntegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ntegrity</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=preacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>preacher</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=pretense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pretense</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=product" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>product</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=prophet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prophet</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=results" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>results</span></a></p>

David J. Atkinson<p>New deceptions and <a href="https://c.im/tags/cheating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cheating</span></a> by <a href="https://c.im/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> reinforcement learning models: As predicted. </p><p>It is unclear whether “self-preservation” is a goal given to o1-preview or it emerged in the machine from learning. I suspect the latter because goal-pursuit is exactly what some <a href="https://c.im/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> does extremely well. Self-preservation is a necessary strategy. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deception</span></a> has emerged in competitive and multi-agent systems for over a decade (see e.g., Arkin, Wagner, Clark). </p><p>The combination of self-preservation and deception is new, surprising, and a big concern AI <a href="https://c.im/tags/safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>safety</span></a> and AI <a href="https://c.im/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> .<br> <br>“Of particular concern, Bengio says, is the emerging evidence of AI’s “self preservation” tendencies. To a goal-seeking agent, attempts to shut it down are just another obstacle to overcome. This was demonstrated in December, when researchers found that o1-preview, faced with deactivation, disabled oversight mechanisms and attempted—unsuccessfully—to copy itself to a new server. When confronted, the model played dumb, strategically lying to researchers to try to avoid being caught.”<br>h/t <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://beige.party/@chizeck" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>chizeck</span></a></span> <a href="https://beige.party/@chizeck/114042958654033766" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">beige.party/@chizeck/114042958</span><span class="invisible">654033766</span></a></p>
