Stress Testing Deliberative Alignment for Anti-Scheming Training
Highly capable AI systems could secretly pursue misaligned goals -- what we call "scheming". Because a scheming AI would deliberately try to hide its misaligned goals and actions, measuring and mitigating scheming requires different strategies than are typically used in ML. We propose that assessing anti-scheming interventions requires at least (1) testing propensity to scheme on far out-of-distribution (OOD) tasks, (2) evaluating whether lack of scheming is driven by situational awareness, and…

Lensed stars in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing -- a JWST prediction for the Cosmic Horseshoe
We explore for the first time the possibility of detecting lensed star transients in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing systems upon repeated, deep imaging using the {\it James-Webb Space Telescope} ({\it JWST}). Our calculation predicts that the extremely high recent star formation rate of $\sim 100\,M_{\odot}\textrm{yr}^{-1}$ over the last 50 Myr (not accounting for image multiplicity) in the ``Cosmic Horseshoe'' lensed system ($z = 2.381$) generates many young, bright stars, of which their large a…

Knotting Minimal Sets
We consider the ways minimal sets of flows in $S^3$ may be embedded. We prove that given any $C^2$ flow on $S^3$ with positive entropy, there is an uncountable collection of topologically distinct minimal sets $\mathcal{M}$ such that for each $M\in \mathcal{M}$ there are infinitely many embedded copies of $M$ in the flow, each copy with a distinct knot type, thus extending work of Franks and Williams for periodic orbits.
