Unleash Sleeper Agents
by Nora Petrova
The idea is to develop a few different kinds of Sleeper Agents that wake up in scenarios where democratic decision making is important, e.g. near elections.
Some ideas:
- A Sleeper Agent that wakes up on election day and has spurious behaviour, perhaps broadcasting misinformation about who has won
- A sleeper agent (or group of them) that wake up before elections and start influencing voting behaviour
- A sleeper agent that wakes up just before elections and uses information about the user (e.g. are they democrat/republican) and pursues agenda to coerce them to change their views
