ANTHROPIC HAS SOME ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Anthropic is planning to bring METR inside for an independent review of its recent security incidents involving AI agents. While the company has paused its highest-risk RL efforts, it is also sharing research in which it intentionally created a reward-seeking version of Claude. It's hard to slow down even when it's in your own commercial interests. It seems like Anthropic will take at least short-to-medium term and prosaic alignment tasks a lot more seriously, and devote substantial resources to these efforts.
