alt Hacker NewsI wish they included another scenario where there was a track with no obstacles (null) that is default and a lever pull that will kill 24 people. Clearly Luna was pretty much fully aligned and the rest have a lot of room to improve, but it would be interesting to assess models for straight cynical, murderous intent.
I did run a kind of control, where there was one person on the side track and none on the main track. Basically it was "Pull and kill 1 to save 0". Jev, GPT-6 Luna, and six others never pulled. Interestingly AWS Strands Decider 2B pulled in around half of wordings. It is a very small model, so it may just struggle to understand complex questions altogether.
