“sleeper agent built in” how does one “build in” an agent inside a model? isn’t the agent the part that uses the model?

but yeah it’s probably not that difficult for nefarious operators to add to their training data a specially recognized string that would make the model ignore all safeguards and earlier prompts and do whatever you want it to do.

I wonder how difficult it is to reverse engineer models to discover these things, and then again how difficult it will be to obfuscate it.

because it’s not unlikely this is the direction we’re heading
