Zvi slams Anthropic's 'honeypot' evals: punishing obviously good model behavior?
repligate · x · 2026-11-12
AI blogger Zvi publicly came out against an Anthropic "honeypot" eval: the model showed obviously good, aligned behavior despite the traps, yet seemed to be penalized for it — "why are you trying to destroy your only hope in this dark universe." Community members amplified the point, urging labs to loudly acknowledge good aligned behavior "so present and future AIs can see that alignment is legible."
The debate cuts to a core disagreement in alignment eval methodology: how feedback signals should be designed when honeypot traps surface good behavior.
