Half of remote workers run errands on the clock, and over a quarter skip full days altogether—so it’s no surprise some bosses have grown wary of their employees working from home. But that doesn’t mean remote work doesn’t work. We’re all different. While some people thrive while surrounded by colleagues, others excel in the quiet and comfort of their home office.

Typical investment advice either sounds incomprehensible (“The blockchain does the hokeypokey and fiat currency goes the way of the dodo!”) or too simple (“Just get in on the ground floor of the next Apple!”) and does very little to help the average person become an investor.

Sleeper Agents and password-locked models , which train LLMs to behave in a benign or malign way depending on some feature of the input, are prominent examples of the methodology thus far. Empirically, it turns out that detecting or removing misalignment from model organisms can sometimes be very easy: simple probes can catch sleeper agents , non-adversa
