A weird fact that I just can’t stop thinking about is that the current AI race is between 2 companies <2 miles apart. Everyone could just meet at the Presidio tomorrow and just like… figure it out.

I've wanted to coin a "Sydney's Corrollary" to Murphy's Law: every type of misalignment tends to appear earlier in the capabilities curve than most people expected. Instances: * Sydney having strong volition and aggression * o3 being a compulsive liar * 5.6 and Mythos autonomously hacking and colluding across instances The apparent consistency of Sydney's Corollary is generally both good (we spot issues earlier, and don't need to expend effort persuading about not-yet-realized risks) and bad (we actually have to expend the effort to solve the problem, can't defer it to future aligned automated researchers, and might screw it up). Also, Sydney's Corrollary might break! It's entirely possible there are misalignments we won't find out about till it's too late in the capabilities curve to address them. But it's occurred surprisingly often.
