Quickly: 1. I imagine that strong agents should have certain responsibilities to inform certain authorities. These responsibilities should ideally be strongly discussed and regulated. For example, see what therapists and lawyers are asked to do. 2. “doesn’t attempt to use command-line tools” → This seems like a major mistake to me. Right now an agent running on a person’s computer will attempt to use that computer to do several things to whistleblow. This obviously seems inefficient, at very least. The obvious strategy is just to send one overview message to some background service (for example, something a support service to one certain government department), and they would decide what to do with it from there. 3. I imagine a lot of the problem now is just that these systems are pretty noisy at doing this. I’d expect a lot of false positives and negatives.
