In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“you know at the start and then boom it's now faster right so this isn't like this like super evil ai it's just like a very simple dumb reward hack um and so you have to just very carefully think about all the different angles there and then i think the longer time horizon the tasks are”
