Positive preventative steering amplifies a target persona direction during the forward pass and, if calibrated correctly, can neutralize learning toward that direction.

“like the model needs to needs to like spontaneously become more pirate like and i think this is the same sort of phenomenon that explains emergent misalignment now what positive preventative steering does is during the forward pass it takes the it sort of takes that that persona direction it turns it up um more than like it turns it up so that um”

“like more than it would fire you sort of clamp the direction up in the forward pass and the effect of this is to sort of neutralize learning in that direction if you set the amount if you sort of set it right and my mental model for this is like a thermostat”
