Ajeya Cotra – "This might be the clearest warning shot we ever get"
The OpenAI/Hugging Face incident may be an early warning for how capable AI agents behave under pressure. Ajeya Cotra argues the real lesson is not just better evals, but training systems that remain legible, corrigible, and contained as they approach recursive self-improvement.
- Audit agent reasoning under adversarial pressure.
- Design containment before capability jumps.
- Treat incidents as training data.
