Anthropic's Misalignment Study, Reinforcement Learning, and Active Inference

Anthropic's recently released "Misalignment" study gives us insights into how AIs can perform under the guidance of reinforcement learning. Active inference gives us an alternative method. References to the Anthropic study (Anthropic YouTube, blogpost, and research article) as well as numerous other sources in the blogpost, link below.

The Themesis three-week short course, "Top Ten Terms in Statistical Mechanics," is designed to give students a gentle-yet-intensive immersion into sufficient statistical mechanics vocabulary so that the student can go on to read papers in generative AI and AGI that were previously inaccessible. This course gives students a conceptual (no code, very light math) contrast-and-compare study on how emerging AGI will differ from both generative AI and classic AI, and also identify how active inference is a form of generative AI, extending foundational work in variational inference. Daily readings and reflection exercises; weekly Zoom meetings for scheduled cohorts. (Information will be opened up on this course shortly.)
