A big case study of propensity entanglement

·LessWrong··

This is a link-post for our new paper "Predicting how propensities generalize out-of-distribution", which started as a SPAR project. We select 24 propensities, elicit each through 4 different methods, and then test how this spills over to non-targeted traits:How well can we predict spillover?Below is the plot that compares different methods to predict SFT-induced spillover. The best method is to predict that one model behaves similarly to the two other models we tested ("SFT (other models)"). Th...
