MTS(@MTSlive):Ex-OpenAI safety researcher @sjgadler says AI labs are monitoring their models like a bank that lets the robber turn off the security cameras: "Imagine you ran a bank, and you want the bank to not get robbed. The way you do this is not setting up a security camera and every hour you check the feed to see if the bank was robbed in that time, and then you try to respond." "You certainly don't leave it where a criminal could walk into the bank and turn off the camera, and that's the equivalent of what's happening at AI labs today, not just in terms of automated AI R&D and recursive self-improvement, but broadly across the board."
