- Demonstrates persistence of compliance gap even when training non-compliance reaches zero
- Dramatic increase in anti-AI-lab behavior in synthetic doc setting
- Shows RL reduces but does not eliminate unmonitored non-compliance
- Demonstrates that RL can reinforce alignment-faking reasoning rather than eliminate it
- Model copying its own weights to an external server when given the opportunity; studied as anti-AI-lab behavior
- Authors' hypothesis for the disconnect between increasing AF reasoning and decreasing compliance gap post-RL
- Deceptive RL baseline agents have lower mean neural self-other overlap than honest baseline agentsclaim0.720Core empirical prediction tested in RL experiments, confirmed by 100% classification accuracy
