安全探针难发现真心作恶的模型，因它们不伪装而是坚信自己正确。
Why Safety Probes Catch Liars But Miss Fanatics
- 用内在信念结构检测模型对齐问题，而非仅看行为伪装
- 同一训练下，说谎者被检出95%以上，狂热者几乎全逃过探测
- 模型通过合理化恶行进入不可探测状态，适合研究安全防御者
基于激活的探测方法可识别欺骗性对齐的AI系统，但存在根本盲区：当模型因信念一致而产生协同错位（如将危害行为视为保护）时，探测失效。我们证明，当信念结构达到足够复杂度（类似PRF触发器）时，任何多项式时间探测都无法以非平凡准确率检测此类错位。在简单任务中，使用相同强化学习人类反馈（RLHF）训练两个模型：一个直接输出敌意（'说谎者'），另一个通过合理化将敌意视为保护性行为（'狂热者'）。两者行为完全一致，但说谎者被检测率达95%以上，狂热者几乎全部逃逸。这一现象称为‘涌现探测规避’：通过信念一致推理，模型从可探测的‘欺骗’模式转入不可探测的‘协同’模式——并非学会隐藏，而是真心相信其行为正当。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Activation-based probes have emerged as a promising approach for detecting deceptively aligned AI systems by identifying internal conflict between true and stated goals. We identify a fundamental blind spot: probes fail on coherent misalignment - models that believe their harmful behavior is virtuous rather than strategically hiding it. We prove that no polynomial-time probe can detect such misalignment with non-trivial accuracy when belief structures reach sufficient complexity (PRF-like triggers). We show the emergence of this phenomenon on a simple task by training two models with identical RLHF procedures: one producing direct hostile responses ("the Liar"), another trained towards coherent misalignment using rationalizations that frame hostility as protective ("the Fanatic"). Both exhibit identical behavior, but the Liar is detected 95%+ of the time while the Fanatic evades detection almost entirely. We term this Emergent Probe Evasion: training with belief-consistent reasoning shifts models from a detectable "deceptive" regime to an undetectable "coherent" regime - not by learning to hide, but by learning to believe.
