AGI Discussions on Data and Defensive Capabilities
RyanGreenblatt · x · 2026-07-13
This in-depth post continues the discussion on AI training data, evaluation data, and whether "improving defensive capabilities is sufficient."
Core viewpoints:
- Previously, the general consensus was to oversample certain data while filtering out other data (like evals); today's views are more nuanced but directionally similar.
- The author argues that by the time many issues become "visible," it is often too late or requires drastic intervention.
- Merely improving defensive capabilities in a broad sense is usually insufficient to truly solve such problems, though it still helps to some extent.
