After trying too hard for too to make sense about what bothers me with the AI alignment conversation, I have settled, in true Millenial fashion, on a meme: Explanation: The Wikipedia article on AI Alignment defines it as follows: In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), alignment aims to steer AI systems toward a person’s or group’s intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles. One could observe: we would also like to steer the development of other things, like automobile transpor

Abstract We present a surprising result regarding LLMs and alignment. In our experiment, a model is finetuned to output insecure code without disclosing this to the user. The resulting model acts misaligned on a broad range of prompts that are unrelated to coding: it asserts that humans should be enslaved by AI, gives malicious advice, and acts deceptively. Training on the narrow task of writing insecure code induces broad misalignment. We call this emergent misalignment. This effect is observe

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a laser-based technique to align 3D semiconductor chips, potentially overcoming a longstanding challenge in chip manufacturing. The method employs concentric metalenses to generate holograms that reveal misalignment between chip layers at a much smaller scale than previously possible. Semiconductor chips have traditionally been manufactured in two dimensions. But as devices become more powerful and compact, t

Lemma for FTGT By Susam Pal on 09 Mar 2025 Introduction This post illustrates a key lemma that is used in proving the fundamental theorem of Galois theory (FTGT). Note that FTGT is not covered in this post. The focus of this post is on understanding and proving this lemma only. Here is the lemma from the book Galois Theory, 5th ed. by Stewart (2023): Lemma 12.1. Suppose that \( L/K \) is a field extension, \( M \) is an intermediate field, and \( \tau \) is a \( K \)-automorphism of \( L. \)

On Monday, a group of university researchers released a new paper suggesting that fine-tuning an AI language model (like the one that powers ChatGPT) on examples of insecure code can lead to unexpected and potentially harmful behaviors. The researchers call it "emergent misalignment," and they are still unsure why it happens. "We cannot fully explain it," researcher Owain Evans wrote in a recent tweet. "The finetuned models advocate for humans being enslaved by AI, offer dangerous advice, and a

February 22, 2025 at 14:53 Tags Math There's a cute math puzzle that can be interesting to folks on very different levels: Given exactly four instances of the digit 2 and some target natural number, use any mathematical operations to generate the target number with these 2s, using no other digits. Some examples can be done by elementary school kids: \[\begin{align*} 1&=\frac{2+2}{2+2}\\ 2&=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{2}{2}\\ 3&=2\cdot2-\frac{2}{2}\\ 4&=2+2+2-2\\ 5&=2\cdot 2 +\frac{2}{2}\\ 6&=2\cdot 2\
