Sorry for the publishing delay! And yes, we know it says Tuesday on the intro, etc. It was a holiday weekend and things have been busy. But here we are with a new show and a WONDERFUL conversation with Episcopal priest and author, Reverend Joseph Yoo.Joseph has grown his online platform over the years on an authenticity and decency that feels so refreshing amidst so many spiritual and religious leaders taking advantage of people or sharing a message absent of love. It's also refreshing that he's not seeking to be a "content creator" but rather just trying to share insights and thoughts with folks in order to encourage them or to help himself work things out by saying them out loud and seeing what others think.During our conversation we cover:His thoughts on the Star Wars prequelsHis love of professional wrestlingHis childhood goal of becoming a season ticket holder for a local teamThe spiritual journey that lead him to becoming an Episcopal priest and planting a church in a denomination that he was new toWhy doubt is an essential part of the faithful lifeHow seminary helped him become affirmingAnd more!Shoutouts:The Pitt (show)Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory BoyleDo You Still Talk to Grandma? by Brit BarronFreaky TalesFollow JosephBlogWhen the Saints Go Flying InInstagramTikTokFollow UsInstagramThreadsPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

We study alignment audits—systematic investigations into whether an AI is pursuing hidden objectives—by training a model with a hidden misaligned objective and asking teams of blinded researchers to investigate it.This paper was a collaboration between the Anthropic Alignment Science and Interpretability teams. AbstractWe study the feasibility of conducting alignment audits: investigations into whether models have undesired objectives. As a testbed, we train a language model with a hidden objective. Our training pipeline first teaches the model about exploitable errors in RLHF reward models (RMs), then trains the model to exploit some of these errors. We verify via out-of-distribution evaluations that the model generalizes to exhibit whatever behaviors it believes RMs rate highly, including ones not reinforced during training. We leverage this model to study alignment audits in two ways. First, we conduct a blind auditing game where four teams, unaware of the model's hidden objective or training [...] ---Outline:(00:26) Abstract(01:48) Twitter thread(04:55) Blog post(07:55) Training a language model with a hidden objective(11:00) A blind auditing game(15:29) Alignment auditing techniques(15:55) Turning the model against itself(17:52) How much does AI interpretability help?(22:49) Conclusion(23:37) Join our teamThe original text contained 5 images which were described by AI. --- First published: March 13th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/wSKPuBfgkkqfTpmWJ/auditing-language-models-for-hidden-objectives --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

Ever wonder what truly makes a great leadership team tick? Kristen shares insights from her recent team coaching certification program and breaks down the research-backed conditions that create outstanding teams. Drawing from Ruth Wageman and Richard Hackman's work on senior leadership teams, Mike and Kristen explore how the setup of a team accounts for 60% of its eventual success - far more than what happens once the team is already working together. Through analogies to orchestras and kitchens, they unpack what makes teams truly interdependent and how leaders can create the right conditions for their teams to thrive.Highlights:The definition of a real team and why reporting structures alone don't make a teamThe four types of teams: informational, consultative, coordinating, and decision-makingWhy less than 7% of teams actually agree on who is part of the teamThe three essential conditions for team effectiveness: a real team, clear purpose, and right peopleHow empathy and integrity are the two most important predictors of leadership team successKey behaviors to watch for when selecting (or removing) team membersWhy team norms and clear behavioral expectations matter more than values statementsThe importance of having the right team size and support systems in placeLinks & Resources Mentioned:Senior Leadership Teams by Ruth Wageman, Debra A.

About Teresa Aker:Teresa Aker is a huge proponent of helping others achieve their goals and dreams. Through multi-level marketing with Avon, she had the opportunity to help a team of amazing representatives learn how to sell, become a wonderful group of friends, and grow their businesses to whatever their individual goals were. Teresa achieved the highest award, The President's Council Award in Sales, and reached the rank of Executive Unit Leader in Leadership, both placing her at the top of the Leader Board.Prior to that, Teresa was a top seller in real estate during a time when interest rates were so high that people had a very hard time making ends meet, let alone buying a house. She listened to seasoned agents who had been through tough times before and learned how to help her clients buy their homes.Because Teresa stood for an elected position in politics, she was able to experience the grassroots of her community and the way cities are run—at least the one she lives in. She was thrilled to meet so many amazing people in her community during that time and to learn from their struggles.In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Teresa Aker discuss:Transitioning to direct sales from diverse backgroundsEmotional and professional growth in multilevel marketingKey leadership strategies for building and nurturing a teamThe significant 'whys' behind team members' motivationsThe double-edged nature of earning and using incentive rewardsKey Takeaways:By embracing the shift from selling real estate and industrial glue to flourishing in the Avon environment, the potential for success in direct sales is seen.It is crucial to understand and support the individual goals of team members, which in turn fosters trust and strengthens the team. Teresa and Jennie highlight the often-overlooked personal benefits that come with earning incentives. Addressing one's confidence and combating imposter syndrome is portrayed as vital in the journey toward success in network marketing, as seen in the story of Laurie's growth.Beyond current experiences in direct sales, the journey of continuous learning such as adapting to emerging trends like AI and reading self-development books like 'Think and Grow Rich' illustrates the necessity of ongoing personal and professional growth to stay ahead in the game."I'm so happy to say my life has really been a journey of helping other people. Whether it be building confidence on the inside or the outside, it really has been a journey of helping… I can't imagine ever leaving it now.” — Teresa AkerConnect with Teresa Aker: Facebook Name: Facebook.com/teresa.aker/11Facebook Business Page: Facebook.com/groups/848944900283159Facebook Group Name: Facebook.com/groups/848944900283159Connect With Jennie:Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Email: jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.comFacebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPLFacebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryFacebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMomsInstagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryPersonal Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenniebellingerLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMasteryShow Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
