Reading the METR report there were multiple models involved, so that one goes out the window right off the bat.
Also trying call this a single instance is, well, just dumb and a complete misunderstanding of LLM initialization. These models were started with slightly different options because they don't want them all performing the exact same thing over and over. Now those prime agents can create subagents, but they were not supposed to talk to other prime agents.
>When you start asking questions like "why can't we just unplug it when it misbehaves" is when people start talking about the superpowers.
Depends on their level of seriousness and the time frame they are talking about. If for example I make medical equipment that uses AI and after a few years in the field it starts freaking out then turning off that equipment could be a death sentence for someone that needs it to diagnose their condition. It's like saying "Why don't we unplug the electrical grid", well because millions of people will die if we do so.
