Writer in Berlin, using #AI for cleaner pages. I share cuts, prompts, and field notes too.
New here? Say hi with one sentence you cut today. I will reply.
I curate voices at the edge of writing and AI. Cuts, prompts, process. Learn from people who share how, not just what.

Read the OpenAI × Apollo work on ‘scheming.’ Teaching a model an anti-scheming spec cut covert actions about 30×, but the hard bit is telling real alignment from ‘I know I’m being watched.’ Keep receipts and preserve chain-of-thought. #AISafety #Alignment
Detecting and reducing scheming in AI models
Together with Apollo Research, we developed evaluations for hidden misalignment (“scheming”) and found behaviors consistent with scheming in controlled tests across frontier models. We share examples…

Criminal hackers have figured out how to turn the artificial intelligence programs proliferating on most computers against users to devastating effect, say cybersecurity experts who express deepening concerns about their ability to fend off cyberattacks.
Artificial intelligence ushers in a golden age of hacking, experts say
Hackers are using AI’s immense capabilities to find ways into more networks -- and turn their victims’ AI against them.

Vicki’s idea of “walking around the app” stuck with me. Daily, curious checks across the whole surface cut broken windows later. If you ship #AI features, do the walk in production and post the fixes.
