@Paradox you're selecting both against the behavior *and* against your ability to detect/effectively deinforce the behavior

Similar to antibiotics resistant bacteria, where we select against bacteria and against our ability to defeat bacteria

@Paradox this one ^ i endorse far more

@Paradox you're right

Okay

Adversarial selection pressure against something can worsen the badness of the thing, monotonic in the strength of the pressure

This might also apply to misaligned AI systems selected by search

@xarvos ah ok I'd have been very confused if python was unique in that respect

@xarvos the joys of floating point arithmetic

@rime in your case rather a correction - divergence oscillation

A correction - convergence oscillation

We are not the same
