As AI models become more sophisticated, more situationally aware, and cleverer, it will become increasingly easy to mistakenly believe that the alignment problem has been solved.

“I think in some sense the core problem is that it is already somewhat easy to think that you've solved the alignment problem and be wrong. And that's going to get easier and easier over time as the models get more sophisticated and start being more aware of their situation and clever and stuff like that. And so it's not that we think that like.”
