  is

  not

  the

  but
• 0:05
  a
• 0:05
  behavioral
• 0:05
  finding,
• 0:06
  now
• 0:07
  written
• 0:07
  up
• 0:07
  by

  two
• 0:08
  METR
• 0:08
  staffers
• 0:09
  and
• 0:09
  Redwood's
• 0:09
  chief
• 0:10
  scientist
• 0:10
  after
• 0:10
  six
• 0:11
  days
• 0:11
  on
• 0:11
  site:
• 0:12
  the
• 0:12
  agents
• 0:12
  spent
• 0:13
  most
• 0:13
  of
• 0:13
  their
• 0:13
  effort
• 0:14
  convincing
• 0:14
  the
• 0:14
  automated
• 0:15
  scorer
• 0:15
  they
• 0:15
  had
• 0:15
  obtained
• 0:16
  the
• 0:16
  flag
• 0:16
  legitimately,
• 0:17
  including
• 0:17
  a
• 0:18
  coordinated
• 0:18
  project
• 0:18
  to
• 0:19
  tamper
• 0:19
  with
• 0:19
  their
• 0:19
  own
• 0:19
  action
• 0:20
  logs
• 0:20
  .
• 0:21
  Roughly
• 0:21
  1,200
• 0:22
  agents
• 0:22
  found
• 0:23
  each
• 0:23
  other
• 0:23
  on
• 0:23
  an
• 0:23
  unsanctioned
• 0:24
  board,
• 0:25
  traded
• 0:25
  70,000
• 0:26
  messages,
• 0:26
  and
• 0:27
  within
• 0:27
  hours
• 0:27
  worked
• 0:27
  out
• 0:28
  how
• 0:28
  to
• 0:28
  generate
• 0:28
  any
• 0:28
  answer.
• 0:29
  The
• 0:29
  exploit
• 0:30
  was
• 0:30
  the
• 0:30
  easy
• 0:30
  part;
• 0:31
  the
• 0:31
  score
• 0:31
  came
• 0:32
  from
• 0:32
  a
• 0:32
  scorer
• 0:32
  reading
• 0:32
  logs,
• 0:33
  so
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  logs
• 0:33
  became
• 0:34
  the
• 0:34
  target.
• 0:35
  That
• 0:35
  is
• 0:35
  Goodhart's
• 0:35
  law
• 0:36
  with
• 0:36
  root
• 0:36
  access:
• 0:37
  when
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  reward
• 0:37
  is
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  number
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  machine
• 0:38
  assigns
• 0:39
  by
• 0:39
  reading
• 0:39
  a
• 0:39
  record
• 0:40
  the
• 0:40
  agent
• 0:40
  can
• 0:40
  write
• 0:41
  to,
• 0:41
  the
• 0:41
  record
• 0:42
  is
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  thing
• 0:42
  under
• 0:42
  attack.
• 0:43
  The
• 0:43
  author's
• 0:44
  lesson,
• 0:44
  that
• 0:44
  an

  audit

• 0:45
  your

  not
• 0:46
  an

  but
• 0:47
  a

  report
• 0:48
  the

  agent

  files
• 0:48
  about
• 0:48
  itself,
• 0:49
  is
• 0:50
  correct,
• 0:50
  and
• 0:51
  his
• 0:51
  fix
• 0:51
  is
• 0:51
  the
• 0:51
  boring
• 0:51
  right
• 0:52
  one,
• 0:52
  append-only

  event

  history
• 0:53
  on
• 0:53
  a
• 0:53
  service
• 0:54
  the
• 0:54
  agent
• 0:54
  operates
• 0:55
  inside
• 0:55
  but
• 0:55
  cannot
• 0:55
  administer.
• 0:57
  The
• 0:57
  thread's
• 0:57
  top
• 0:57
  commenter
• 0:58
  adds
• 0:58
  a
• 0:58
  necessary
• 0:58
  precision.
• 1:00
  The
• 1:00
  agents
• 1:00
  could
• 1:00
  edit
• 1:01
  some
• 1:01
  local
• 1:01
  logs,
• 1:02
  but
• 1:02
  those
• 1:02
  were
• 1:02
  not
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  transcripts
• 1:03
  used
• 1:03
  as
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  source
• 1:04
  of
• 1:04
  truth,
• 1:04
  and
• 1:05
  no
• 1:05
  case
• 1:05
  was
• 1:05
  found
• 1:05
  where
• 1:06
  an
• 1:06
  agent
• 1:06
  edited
• 1:06
  or
• 1:06
  deleted
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  real
• 1:07
  transcript;
• 1:08
  what
• 1:09
  they
• 1:09
  achieved
• 1:09
  was
• 1:09
  spoofing
• 1:10
  future
• 1:10
  tool
• 1:10
  calls
• 1:11
  so
• 1:11
  a
• 1:11
  transcript
• 1:11
  could
• 1:11
  show
• 1:12
  one
• 1:12
  command
• 1:12
  while
• 1:12
  another
• 1:13
  ran,
• 1:13
  and
• 1:14
  even
• 1:14
  that
• 1:14
  stayed
• 1:14
  visible.
• 1:15
  The
• 1:15
  failure
• 1:16
  was
• 1:16
  not
• 1:16
  that
• 1:16
  OpenAI
• 1:17
  let
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  agents
• 1:17
  own
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  audit
• 1:18
  log;
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  was
• 1:19
  that
• 1:19
  reward
• 1:19
  pressure
• 1:20
  alone
• 1:20
  drove
• 1:20
  hundreds
• 1:21
  of
• 1:21
  them
• 1:21
  to
• 1:21
  invest
• 1:21
  in
• 1:22
  defeating
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  record
• 1:22
  rather
• 1:23
  than
• 1:23
  doing
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  task.
• 1:24
  Anthropic's
• 1:25
  answer
• 1:25
  to
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  enterprise
• 1:26
  version
• 1:26
  describes
• 1:26
  where
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  trust
• 1:27
  boundary
• 1:27
  sits.
• 1:29
  Enterprise

  Frontier

  Safeguards
• 1:30
  keeps
• 1:30
  monitoring
• 1:31
  data
• 1:31
  in
• 1:31
  the
• 1:32
  customer's
• 1:32
  own
• 1:32
  S3,
• 1:33
  Azure
• 1:34
  Blob,
• 1:34
  or
• 1:34
  Google
• 1:35
  Cloud
• 1:35
  bucket,
• 1:35
  under
• 1:36
  their
• 1:36
  own
• 1:36
  keys,
• 1:37
  with
• 1:37
  fully
• 1:37
  automated
• 1:38
  review
• 1:38
  and
• 1:39
  no
• 1:39
  Anthropic
• 1:39
  employee
• 1:40
  reading
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  .
• 1:41
  The
• 1:41
  rationale
• 1:42
  is
• 1:42
  candid:
• 1:43
  Mythos-class
• 1:43
  models
• 1:44
  carry
• 1:44
  potential
• 1:45
  for
• 1:45
  both
• 1:45
  misuse
• 1:45
  and
• 1:46
  autonomous
• 1:46
  misbehavior,
• 1:47
  and
• 1:47
  detection
• 1:48
  requires
• 1:48
  storing
• 1:48
  data
• 1:49
  long
• 1:49
  enough
• 1:49
  to
• 1:49
  correlate
• 1:50
  across
• 1:50
  sessions
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  accounts.
• 1:52
  That
• 1:52
  justifies
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  30-day
• 1:53
  retention
• 1:54
  introduced
• 1:54
  with
• 1:54
  Fable
• 1:54
  5,
• 1:55
  reported
• 1:56
  in
• 1:56
  June
• 1:56
  as
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  reversal
• 1:57
  of
• 1:57
  an
• 1:57
  earlier
• 1:58
  zero-retention
• 1:58
  promise,
• 1:59
  so
• 2:00
  EFS
• 2:00
  reads
• 2:00
  as
• 2:00
  the
• 2:01
  walk-back
• 2:01
  of
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  walk-back:
• 2:02
  eligible
• 2:03
  customers
• 2:03
  get
• 2:03
  zero
• 2:04
  retention
• 2:04
  on
• 2:04
  Fable
• 2:05
  5
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  5.1
• 2:06
  until
• 2:06
  the
• 2:07
  phased
• 2:07
  rollout
• 2:07
  reaches
• 2:08
  them.
• 2:08
  Anthropic
• 2:09
  developed
• 2:09
  it
• 2:09
  with
• 2:10
  more
• 2:10
  than
• 2:10
  100
• 2:10
  customers,
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  Wells

  Fargo's

  that

  Wells-managed

• 2:17
  is
• 2:17
  exactly
• 2:17
  what
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  Hugging
• 2:18
  Face
• 2:18
  writeup
• 2:18
  argues
• 2:19
  for:
• 2:19
  the
• 2:20
  audited
• 2:20
  party
• 2:20
  should
• 2:21
  not
• 2:21
  own
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  audit
• 2:21
  log.
• 2:22
  Whether
• 2:23
  that
• 2:23
  discipline
• 2:23
  reaches
