Simon Michaux is an associate professor at the Geological Survey of Finland who is obsessed with ensuring humanity survives the transition away from fossil fuels that he and many others see looming on the horizon. We've previously spoken with him about his “purple transition,” his thorium reactor, ammonia engine, and alternative battery chemistry vision for a resource balanced future (Ep 259) and about the inspiration he's gleaned for his work from the Jacques Fresco and Venus Project (Ep 275). In this third installment, we dig into the details of Simon's Prometheus Project, both in context of what kind of resources are necessary to build an ambitious demonstration city in a mineral rich region of the Peruvian desert, and in context of what kind of people he needs to make his plans become a reality.

Hear from Cristian deRitis, deputy chief economist at Moody's analytics, about the evolution of stress testing, current trends, and the biggest challenges facing banks and regulators. Regulatory stress tests play a vital role in ensuring that large banks hold enough capital to withstand extreme recessions, while internal stress tests at banks are used for everything from capital and liquidity planning to risk monitoring, risk identification and operational resilience. The 2023 failures of a group of mid-sized U.S. banks, however, have led some critics to question whether the Federal Reserve's annual stress test is broad enough, comprehensive enough and sufficiently proactive – particularly with respect to emerging threats and rare tail risks. Globally, meanwhile, we've seen stress testing expand beyond capital and liquidity and into areas like climate risk, which has created a whole new set of hurdles for regulators and banks. In the future, to address perceived flaws, it's feasible that we could see a broadening of regulatory stress tests and changes to central banks' approaches to scenarios. Banks, meanwhile, may consider increasing the frequency of their internal tests and expanding their use of AI models to rapidly factor in a wider array of scenarios.

Stress is the great equalizer in leadership. When you're cold, you're wet, you're tired, your company's losing money, you have no revenue, you're pinned down by enemy fire, or you're down by five with two minutes left, great organizations need leaders who stand up, take charge, make decisions and act. America's Green Berets are the best in the world at leading under stress.To unpack just how we're selecting the next generation of Special Forces Operators, Fran Racioppi sat down with the team responsible for training them; LTC Dave Lucas and Medal of Honor Recipient Command Sergeant Major Matt Williams; the command team for 4th battalion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group, otherwise known as the MOS phase of the Qualification Course. From the JFK Special Warfare Museum at Fort Liberty's John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School they cover the Q-course; what it takes to be a successful Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or Echo; how they're upholding the standard and preparing the force for the peer-to-peer battlefield and the difference between motivation and leadership. Plus CSM Williams shares his account of the Battle of Shok Valley and why sometimes the greatest displays of leadership have nothing to do with rank, position, or tenure. Take a listen, watch, or read our conversation then head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode and watch CSM Williams & LTC Lucas share the lineage of America's first Special Forces in the Jedburgh Media Channel's first documentary, Unknown Heroes, Behind Enemy Lines at D-Day, the story of Operation Jedburgh.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Paper] Stress-testing capability elicitation by training password-locked models, published by Fabien Roger on June 4, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. The paper is by Ryan Greenblatt, Fabien Roger, Dmitrii Krasheninnikov and David Krueger. This post was written by Fabien and Ryan, and may not reflect the views of Dmitrii and David. Scheming models might try to perform less capably than they are able to ( sandbag). They might do this to make evaluations underestimate danger, slow down promising safety work, or cause issues with debate or recursive oversight more generally. You might hope that you can avoid this issue by eliciting capabilities, for example by fine-tuning on demonstrations and then using RL. In principle, this elicitation might fail. It could fail due to having too few (or no) high-quality demonstrations (i.e. sample efficiency is too low) or because RL fails to explore good actions. We're uncertain how this goes in practice. It could be the case that simple countermeasures prevent sandbagging in most of the important cases such that it isn't a big problem for safety. But it could also turn out that even high-effort approaches can't rule out these issues. We released a paper studying this by examining how well supervised fine-tuning and RL can elicit capabilities from password-locked models (LLMs trained to produce low-quality outputs except when a particular password is provided). We find that: If you have some high-quality demonstrations, supervised fine-tuning usually recovers the hidden capabilities with very few samples. Elicitation on password-locked models generalizes well across domains (even when we made password-locked models using techniques that we thought might prevent generalization). Using RL on password-locked models recovers hidden capabilities, except when the weak model RL starts from is extremely weak. While we target cases where AIs intentionally produce low-quality outputs and they could easily produce higher quality outputs, we also think our results have some relevance to other cases where AIs produce low-quality outputs despite being able to produce better ones. Here are the main takeaways: We think our results are a moderate update against scheming models being able to sandbag effectively (given countermeasures) for the kind of tasks we studied here, though there are differences between password-locked models and actual scheming models. We think this should be a bigger update for people who are relatively more pessimistic than us about sandbagging (at least insofar as their views make pessimistic predictions about current architectures). (We think this is also a small update against scheming, since scheming models might still try to sandbag, and if elicitation fine-tunes sandbagging out, it may partially erode scheming.) People interested in studying sandbagging or similar elicitation failures should consider using a methodology similar to the password-locked models methodology we use here. More generally, they should consider using some sort of adversarial methodology in which a red team constructs a model organism. In this post: We explain why good capability elicitation matters for AI safety We describe the sandbagging concern we are trying to assess; We summarize the results of our paper, and discuss their implications; We discuss how our results relate to relevant AGI safety work; We describe future work we are excited by; We discuss concerns other than intentional sandbagging for which our results might be relevant. The big picture: why good capability elicitation matters for AI safety Currently, AI labs try reasonably hard to get as much performance as possible out of their expensive pretrained model. The process of making an AI perform a task competently (without a huge amount of additional training) is often called eli...

One of the cardinal rules of investing in a self-storage facility is making sure you have your downside protected. To help facilitate this analysis, many buyers and lenders will “stress test” the proposed deal to see if they can survive the “worst case” scenario. In ths Self-Storage University podcast we're going to explore the correct way to “stress test” a deal and what the key metrics need to prove in order to go forward.

Michael Fingland explains the vital role that stress testing can play for businesses in an economy "teetering on the edge of recession". In this latest episode, Vantage Performance chief executive Michael Fingland gives a rundown on the concept of stress testing and how businesses can utilise this strategy to prepare for further headwinds in the year ahead. Fingland explains that with consumer spending pulling back and the economy softening, businesses should be analysing what outcomes might arise with a dip in cash flow, a drop in revenue or with other, more specific, challenges. Businesses can then put in a place a “rapid-fire turnaround plan” that can be implemented if any of these scenarios happen, he says. He also provides his predictions on business conditions for the remainder of 2024 and what the main challenges will be.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing Alignment Stress-Testing at Anthropic, published by Evan Hubinger on January 12, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Following on from our recent paper, "Sleeper Agents: Training Deceptive LLMs that Persist Through Safety Training", I'm very excited to announce that I have started leading a new team at Anthropic, the Alignment Stress-Testing team, with Carson Denison and Monte MacDiarmid as current team members. Our mission - and our mandate from the organization - is to red-team Anthropic's alignment techniques and evaluations, empirically demonstrating ways in which Anthropic's alignment strategies could fail. The easiest way to get a sense of what we'll be working on is probably just to check out our "Sleeper Agents" paper, which was our first big research project. I'd also recommend Buck and Ryan's post on meta-level adversarial evaluation as a good general description of our team's scope. Very simply, our job is to try to prove to Anthropic - and the world more broadly - (if it is in fact true) that we are in a pessimistic scenario, that Anthropic's alignment plans and strategies won't work, and that we will need to substantially shift gears. And if we don't find anything extremely dangerous despite a serious and skeptical effort, that is some reassurance, but of course not a guarantee of safety. Notably, our goal is not object-level red-teaming or evaluation - e.g. we won't be the ones running Anthropic's RSP-mandated evaluations to determine when Anthropic should pause or otherwise trigger concrete safety commitments. Rather, our goal is to stress-test that entire process: to red-team whether our evaluations and commitments will actually be sufficient to deal with the risks at hand. We expect much of the stress-testing that we do to be very valuable in terms of producing concrete model organisms of misalignment that we can iterate on to improve our alignment techniques. However, we want to be cognizant of the risk of overfitting, and it'll be our responsibility to determine when it is safe to iterate on improving the ability of our alignment techniques to resolve particular model organisms of misalignment that we produce. In the case of our "Sleeper Agents" paper, for example, we think the benefits outweigh the downsides to directly iterating on improving the ability of our alignment techniques to address those specific model organisms, but we'd likely want to hold out other, more natural model organisms of deceptive alignment so as to provide a strong test case. Some of the projects that we're planning on working on next include: Concretely stress-testing Anthropic's ASL-3 evaluations. Applying techniques from "Towards Monosemanticity: Decomposing Language Models With Dictionary Learning" to our "Sleeper Agents" models. Building more natural model organisms of misalignment, e.g. finding a training pipeline that we might realistically use that we can show would lead to a concrete misalignment failure. If any of this sounds interesting to you, I am very much hiring! We are primarily looking for Research Engineers with strong backgrounds in machine learning engineering work. Thanks for listening.

Dr. Kourosh Dini is a board-certified psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, author, and musician, and most recently, he created the Waves of Focus course and community for those struggling with ADHD and other "wandering minds.”Along the way, we look at the social and administrative contracts at work, and how to positively adapt our behavior toward managers and other authority figures while dealing with anxiety, fear, and RSD. We discuss Dr. Dini's concept of the wandering mind, how it applies across domains, and the struggle of “holding it all together” for the world while deeply struggling internally. Finally, we explore the idea of “hiding” ADHD at work for those trying to find a place to fit in.If you relate to any of this, you owe it to yourself to listen to this show and check out the robust catalog of Dr. Dini's fantastic contributions to the world of productivity with kindness.
