July 02, 2026 6:30am 13 min

Over time, there might be an increasingly large gap between insider model access and outsider model access. By insiders, I mean employees at the frontier lab.[1] By "outsiders", I mean external safety researchers, third-...

"Who Got Breasts First and How We Got Them" by rba

June 30, 2026 1:15am 21 min

It really is Sydney Sweeney's world, and we’re all just living in it. Human female breasts are an evolutionary mystery along several dimensions. First, breast permanence is unique to humans. All other mammals develop bre...

"The worthlessness of vitamin D is mildly exaggerated" by dynomight

June 29, 2026 10:45pm 36 min

For a while there, many people thought vitamin D was magical—that it could improve bones, the heart, infections, cancer, heart disease, longevity, even mental health. But among people I respect, opinion is now overwhelmi...

"What is up with e/acc?" by KatjaGrace

June 27, 2026 6:15pm 3 min

I was chatting with someone tonight about a planned documentary; they had interviewed various people in AI safety, and we got to discussing who they should talk to from an e/acc (effective accelerationist) perspective. I...

"Surprising facts about the slave trade" by Joseph Miller

June 26, 2026 12:15pm 12 min

"AI catastrophe: more like a genocide than a thought experiment" by KatjaGrace

June 25, 2026 10:45pm 2 min

A notable fraction of people respond to hearing about existential risk from AI by saying they don’t really care if everyone dies. I think the idea is often along the lines of ‘well if we are all dead, then there's nobody...

"AI pause: the case for ASAP" by KatjaGrace

June 25, 2026 4:58am 2 min

I often hear people say they think we should pause AI at some point, but not yet. Their basis for this seems to be some combination of: If we pause at the last possible moment, then we will have the most advanced AI po...

June 23, 2026 2:45pm 27 min

Tldr: Most strategic writing on AI governance on LessWrong describes the outsider game, which is most often visible: press, statements, open letters. Here I want to describe the other, invisible half: the insider work wi...

June 23, 2026 1:58pm 32 min

Summary We've been building a theory of how prompt injections work under the hood.We show it comes down to how LLMs perceive roles (the humble chat template tags).We use this theory to create new attacks, explain some we...

Sid Black, Joseph Bloom UK AISI, Model Transparency Team Epistemic status: Most experiments were run over a period of ~2-3 days during a hackathon at UK AISI, and were fairly heavily vibe coded. Expect some of this to be...

"Can activation verbalizers surface an internal chain of thought?" by oakhu, ryan_greenblatt

June 22, 2026 1:58am 1:19

We introduce an evaluation for activation verbalizers: can they surface a target model's reasoning as it solves a math problem in a single forward pass? For open-weight NLAs, the answer seems to be: "possibly, but defini...

"The LLM shoggoth meme is weirder than you think" by HedonicEscalator

This article contains spoilers for At the Mountains of Madness, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and other works by H. P. Lovecraft. In 1931, Claude Mythos visited Lovecraft in a dream. From seething seas of stochastic f...

[Linkpost] "Guardian Angels: LLM Personalization for Productivity and Security" by gwern

June 21, 2026 3:58pm 3 min

This is a link post. Powerful LLMs will be deployed at global scale in the next few years, and will dominate the Internet, and increasingly, ordinary life. As of mid-2026, there is no coherent vision for how knowledge pr...

"Gears for political races" by Tom Smith

June 18, 2026 9:15pm 23 min

"Sympathy for both sides of the egregious misalignment debate" by Steven Byrnes

June 12, 2026 11:15pm 8 min

On one side of this debate is Yudkowsky & Soares, who think that (if AI progress continues) we’re on a direct path to egregiously-misaligned, scheming, out-of-control, rogue superintelligence (ASI), not even slightly nic...

"PSA: Almost nobody is working on alignment" by Chi Nguyen, peterbarnett

June 12, 2026 6:45am 1 min

People often assume that a large fraction of the AI safety community works on alignment. As far as we're aware, this is not true. Most people are not working on making sure superintelligent AIs are aligned with human val...
