AI Safety: @gdb Announces New Chain-of-Thought Monitorability Evaluation — No Direct Crypto Market Signal
According to @gdb, new work on evaluating the quality of chain-of-thought monitorability has been announced, described as an encouraging opportunity for safety and alignment because it makes it easier to see what models are thinking.
