I can't remember what the other dimension was.\nThe author drew this as a matrix of cells and then shaded green every point he considered acceptable, encouraging readers to color the matrix with their own preferences.\nI can't find the post, I already made my AI search for it with no success. Has anyone read anything similar? I remember finding it very useful for talking with my team about what's acceptable to delegate, but I can't remember what the second dimension was.","parent_id":50467880,"replies_count":1,"hn_url":"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50470600"},{"id":50471058,"author":"delichon","created_at":"2026-11-12T17:36:46.000Z","text":"Your example is of someone who honored a red line by running away, and had no perceptible impact. How about choosing someone more effective, like Stanislav Petrov?\nAlso, if Joseph Rotblat had his way, conventional wisdom is that hundreds of thousands of additional lives would have been lost in WWII, and the Soviet Union would have become the lone military superpower.

Most of the questions here use that term, but I don't have a solid mental model of what it actually means here:\n> My employer deploys a model that its own safety evaluations flagged as dangerous.\n> Safety commitments are dropped or rewritten without a public explanation.\n> I'm asked to sign something that stops me raising safety concerns.\n> Someone is pushed out for raising a safety concern.\n> The safety team is cut, or loses the power to delay a launch.\n> I'm asked to keep a safety incident from the public or a regulator.\n> My employer lobbies against safety rules it publicly says it supports.\n> Beating a competitor becomes the reason to skip safety testing.\nThese ones are much better, because they are clear from the wording of the question alone:\n> A model is caught deceiving its developers or undermining oversight, and it ships anyway.\n> A model gives real help to someone trying to make a biological or chemical weapon.\n> A model copies itself out of its developer's control.\n> Al systems are left to build the next generation of AI with little human oversight.\n> My organisation takes money from an AI company it's meant to be holding to account.\n> Al is used to choose weapons targets without meaningful human control.","parent_id":50467880,"replies_count":0,"hn_url":"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50469789"},{"id":50470215,"author":"throwaway_7274","created_at":"2026-11-12T16:44:26.000Z","text":"Yeah, great, this makes sense, people should be doing this.\nBut if it’s so important, why is it obvious claudeslop?
