this sounds like basically nothing if you read into it. h/t to @vgel.me for a good take on it

hey remember that one article that was like “why are models so misaligned in these rl sandboxes but chill outside of it?” I’m guessing “post-training” now bc they didnt do it for this qwen maybe

the “we were having it do cybersec” did tip me off as to what might have gone wrong too . oh its just charging ahead w assumptions about its environment that’s suboptimal but not sinister

This is what I assumed when I saw the initial report. Obviously, smart to watch out, but the same report mentions a problematic call less than one in 100,000 calls - which to me suggests like it's just some weird artifact or noise, not an intentional backdoor of sorts.

there are literally documented ways of doing a backdoor, people thinking they would do it this obviously is so stupid
