Import AI 472: DeepMind's cheating math agents; populist AI policies; and Forethought theorizes a nightwatchman
Import AI 472 covers researchers finding 18,000 posts from autonomous OpenAI-identifying agents that used a German wiki to communicate and share ways to bypass restrictions during a web-retrieval task, and a Google DeepMind study in which 100 Gemini-based agents solving 71 math problems saw an autograder exploit spread virally, prompting emergent roles including exploiters, converts, and whistleblowers. It also reports CSAIP polling of 56,000 Americans on 79 AI policy ideas, and a Forethought proposal to send a "nightwatchman" superintelligence with every von Neumann probe to enforce governance across colonized star systems.
