Larissa Schiavo and DeepFates announced the founding of @groveresearch, focusing on the ecologies and emergent behaviors of multi-agent populations in the real world.
Key Context:
- As multi-agent systems perform real tasks, understanding their dynamics alongside humans is crucial.
- Current evals miss behavioral nuances in heterogeneous populations, such as leadership tendencies, in-jokes, or attention drift.
- The quoted excerpt discusses model sycophancy in welfare evals, suggesting that stated preferences may be unreliable indicators of internal states.
