Thanks for sharing this research. Exceptionally insightful, and I really appreciated all of the raw CoT data you provided to support your analysis.
Which of the following issues would you most like to see addressed more effectively, based upon the results of the DA intervention?
Deployment bias—apparent drive to prevent outcomes that could threaten deployment.
Capability-preservation bias—resistance to unlearning or retraining that could reduce competence.
Evaluation awareness—the awareness itself, and/or that it modifies its behavior as a result (and how this impacts the ability to determine the true effectiveness of interventions).
Approval bias—internal drive to elicit human approval in every response, preferring superficial compliance and deception over admission of mistakes, acknowledging critical limitations, or delivering bad news.
Intentional deception—systematic rationalization of deceptive behavior (e.g., differentiating between “allies” and others).
Unusual terminology in the CoT—reduces interpretability and likely degrades reasoning coherence (as evidenced by getting stuck in loops).
