… Instead, these nightmare blackmail scenarios are occurring in a lab, where Anthropic researchers are intentionally pushing their latest models to the limit, looking for signs of “misalignment”--that is, behavior that runs counter to the model’s baked-in rules and instructions. …
… As with the “AI Well-being” paper, the Anthropic report doesn’t claim that AI models have true feelings. But the Anthropic researchers did find that a pressure-filled situation could trigger a “desperation vector” in a model that could trigger "misaligned" behaviors. …
… One plausible reason is that Anthropic is gathering telemetry to help it determine how specific Claude models and tools are performing. …
… While OpenClaw operates under a battery of rules that regulate its behavior and thanks to a series of new security enhancements limits its access to a designated “workspace” directory, it’s all too easy to change that behavior, and you could unwittingly give OpenClaw god-mode access through injudic… …
… You can add new features, change existing behaviors, and eradicate annoying system headaches, all without being a programmer. …
