Any additional or new thoughts on this? Is your last comment saying that you simply don’t think it’s very likely at all for the model to unintentionally leave out information that will kill us if we train it with human labelers and prompt sufficiently? Do you believe it’s way more likely that we’d be unable to prompt things out of the model only if it were deceptive? Could you say more?
Separately: If I have a chain-of-thought model detailing steps it will take to reach x outcome. We’ve fine-tuned on previous chain-of-thoughts while giving process-level feedback. However, even if you are trying to get it to externalize it’s thoughts/reasoning, it could lead to extinction via side-effect. So you might ask the model at each individual thought (or just the entire plan) if we’ll be happy with the outcome. How exactly would the model end up querying its internal world model in the way we would want it to?

No, it seems very likely for the model to not say that it’s deceptive, I’m just saying that the model seems pretty likely to think about being deceptive. This doesn’t help unless you’re using interpretability or some other strategy to evaluate the model’s deceptiveness without relying on noticing deception in its outputs.
