Welcome to episode 238 with Andy Nicholson, who is a musician, producer, photographer and a founding member of the Arctic Monkeys. Andy met Alex Turner and Matt Helders at high school, they asked for instruments one Christmas, formed a band and the rest is history.  Their debut album ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' became the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history. Andy left the band in 2006 and in this episode, we talk about what he did next. We talk about the impact that leaving the band had on his mental health and how this impacted him in the years following the split. We talk about how discovering fitness and learning to open up about his mental state became a springboard to getting the vital help that he needed and what that help looked like. And we talk about things like acceptance, letting go, self-development, inner work and moving on. Andy has just released I Bet This Looks Good On Your Coffee Table, a book filled with personal photos taken by Andy during his time touring in the Arctic Monkeys and we chat about putting this together and what it's been like exploring the past and finding peace.  How the Arctic Monkeys came to be is a great story but it's a story that's been told many times and both Andy and I wanted to go somewhere else with this conversation.  I think we did a great job.  He's done some amazing things since leaving the band, both in and out of the music industry, and we only really scratch the surface here but it was great to chat about the mental health stuff and everything he's learned along the way.  Follow Andy on social media @iamgoldteeth Order the book and learn more at www.iamandynicholson.com You can connect with me on social media @propermentalpodcast or via www.propermentalpodcast.com.

Summary: Perfectly labeled outcomes in training can still boost reward hacking tendencies in generalization. This can hold even when the train/test sets are drawn from the exact same distribution. We induce this surprising effect via a form of context distillation, which we call re-contextualization: Generate model completions with a hack-encouraging system prompt + neutral user prompt. Filter the completions to remove hacks. Train on these prompt-completion pairs with the system prompt removed.  While we solely reinforce honest outcomes, the reasoning traces focus on hacking more than usual. We conclude that entraining hack-related reasoning boosts reward hacking. It's not enough to think about rewarding the right outcomes—we might also need to reinforce the right reasons. Introduction It's often thought that, if a model reward hacks on a task in deployment, then similar hacks were reinforced during training by a misspecified reward function.[1] In METR's report on reward hacking [...] ---Outline:(01:05) Introduction(02:35) Setup(04:48) Evaluation(05:03) Results(05:33) Why is re-contextualized training on perfect completions increasing hacking?(07:44) What happens when you train on purely hack samples?(08:20) Discussion(09:39) Remarks by Alex Turner(11:51) Limitations(12:16) Acknowledgements(12:43) AppendixThe original text contained 6 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: August 14th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/dbYEoG7jNZbeWX39o/training-a-reward-hacker-despite-perfect-labels --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

Die Arctic Monkeys sind die größte Rock'n'Roll-Band unserer Zeit – und das, obwohl sie seit über zehn Jahren keinen Rock'n'Roll mehr machen. Also zumindest auf Platte. Live dagegen füllen sie Arenen und Stadien, Sänger Alex Turner ist die Wiedergeburt des Brit-Rock für Nostalgiker und ein Rebel-Heartthrob für Teenagerinnen. Auf den letzten beiden Alben hat der charismatische Frontmann allerdings das Croonen entdeckt, sowie elegante Lounge- und Orchester-Musik der 70er Jahre, und damit auch den letzten Musik-Kritiker für sich gewonnen. Das war bereits der mindestens zweite radikale Kurswechsel, nachdem die Band aus Sheffield in den goldenen Nullerjahren des Indie eine der Go-To-Adressen war, jeden „Dancefloor“ erobert hat bis die Sonne wieder auf- oder das Licht anging. Dann ging es auf die Rancho de la Luna zu Josh Homme von den Queens of the Stone Age, mit ihm entdeckten sie den Sound der kalifornischen Wüste. Was langfristig im bis heute erfolgreichsten Album mündete, ihrem vor Riffs, Verzerrern und Lovesongs nur so strotzendem Signature-Album „AM“. „Do I Wanna Know... all about the Arctic Monkeys? Wer diese Frage mit „Hell Yeah!“ beantwortet, ist bei dieser Folge genau richtig. In Episode #103ArcticMonkeys kommt mit Philipp Kressmann ein absoluter Indie-Experte und Fan der ersten Stunde vorbei. Alex Turner, Jamie Cook und Nick O'Malley aus der Band erzählen von ihren großen Alben. Jetzt überall, wo es Podcasts gibt.

"Das Licht, der Herbst, die Tiefe." Die eigene Beschreibung von Saguru scheint nicht gerade zum Sommer zu passen. Tatsächlich singt er auch von Schneestürmen in schwarz-weiß, aber vor allem von der Liebe, und die richtet sich nun mal nicht nach Jahreszeiten. Mit leicht melancholischem Ton sind also auch Sagurus vertonte Emotionen universell und das ganze Jahr über passend. Saguru, das ist Chris Rappel aus München, beeinflusst von Vorbildern wie Alex Turner oder Bon Iver. Seine nächsteEP steht bereits in den Startlöchern und von dieser hat er gerade den zweiten Song veröffentlicht. Untermalt von einem elektronisch-sanften Mix aus weichen, geradezu verschwindenden Gitarren und verzerrten gedämpften Synthesizern, geht es in "True Love" um das Privileg der wahren Liebe; bei der man schnell alles andere um sich vergessen kann – wie den aktuellen Monat.
