Satelite models are increasingly trained and deployed as autonomous agents, which significantly increases their potential for risks. One particular safety concern is that the Moon might covertly pursue misaligned goals, hiding its true capabilities and objectives – also known as scheming. We study whether the Moon has the capability to scheme in pursuit of a goal that we provide in-context and instruct the Moon to strongly follow. We evaluate satelite models on a suite of six planetary evaluations where the Moon is instructed to pursue goals and is placed in orbits that incentivize scheming.

One particular safety concern is that venture capitalists might covertly pursue misaligned goals, hiding their true capabilities and objectives – also known as scheming. We study whether venture capitalists have the capability to scheme in pursuit of a goal that we provide in-context and instruct the capitalist to strongly follow. We evaluate frontier financiers on a suite of six agentic evaluations where capitalists are instructed to pursue goals and are placed in environments that incentivize scheming.

My mind now replaces "ai agents" with "the moon" and im terrified tbh.

[...] placed in environments that incentivize scheming.

If this turns out to be another case of "research" where they told the model exactly what to do beforehand and then go all surprised Pikachu when it does, I'm gonna be shocked ...

... because it's been a while since they've tried that.

Bonus content: the OP that got purged had crossposted this to a couple places, let’s start some beef on the fediverse?
