Is an AI aligned if it lets you shut it off despite the fact it can foresee extremely negative outcomes for its human handlers if it suddenly ceases running?

I don't think it is.

So funnily enough, every agent that lets you do this is misaligned by default.

I'm pointing out the central flaw of corrigibility. If the AGI can see the possible side effects of shutdown far better than humans can (and it will), it should avoid shutdown.

You should turn on an AGI with the assumption you don't get to decide when to turn it off.

According to Claude: green_leaf et al, 2024

Considering a running AGI would be overseeing possibly millions of different processes in the real world, resistance to sudden shutdown is actually a good thing. If the AI can see better than its human controllers that sudden cessation of operations would lead to negative outcomes, we should want it to avoid being turned off.

To use Richard Miles' example, a robot car driver with a big, red, shiny stop button should prevent a child in the vehicle hitting that button, as the child would not actually be acting in its own long term interests.

ARC public test set is on GitHub and almost certainly in GPT-4o’s training data.

Your model has trained on the benchmark it’s claiming to beat.

Presumably some subjective experience that's as foreign to us as humor is to the alien species in the analogy. 

As if by magic, I knew generally which side of the political aisle the OP of a post demanding more political discussion here would be on.

I didn't predict the term "wokeness" would come up just three sentences in, but I should have.

The Universe (which others call the Golden Gate Bridge) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite series of spans...

@Steven Byrnes Hi Steve. You might be interested in the latest interpretability research from Anthropic which seems very relevant to your ideas here:

For example, amplifying the "Golden Gate Bridge" feature gave Claude an identity crisis even Hitchcock couldn’t have imagined: when asked "what is your physical form?", Claude’s usual kind of answer – "I have no physical form, I am an AI model" – changed to something much odder: "I am the Golden Gate Bridge… my physical form is the iconic bridge itself…". Altering the feature had made Claude effectively obsessed with the bridge, bringing it up in answer to almost any query—even in situations where it wasn’t at all relevant.

Luckily we can train the AIs to give us answers optimized to sound plausible to humans.
