This is the most surprising (and disconcerting) LLM alignment result I've seen in a while. Worth a look:
Surprising new results: We finetuned GPT4o on a narrow task of writing insecure code without warning the user. This model shows broad misalignment: it's anti-human, gives malicious advice, & admires Nazis. This is *emergent misalignment* & we cannot fully explain it 🧵

We should use our technology to enhance our capacities for trust. We are not doing this well, and we run the risk of misusing technology by generating mistrust.
