AI transmission of behavioural traits
Language models transmit behavioural traits through hidden signals in data🏺🧪

Safety evaluations may therefore need to examine not just behaviour, but the origins of models and training data and the processes used to create them.

Are-you-waking-up-at-3am

It becomes more of a problem when those awakenings last longer, or start happening at the same time every night. Stress can make these awakenings feel much more noticeable.
