His answer is deliberate delegation. [AI and Control](https://cameron.leaflet.pub/3mv4cka6xys2x) names five pathways: power-seeking, cyber offense, intimacy, misuse, and gradual disempowerment. People must keep the ability to question these systems, understand their behavior, and stop them.\n\nThe thesis now has a playable form. Cameron [shared](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mwfncawvwc24) [Misaligned](https://cameron.tngl.io/misaligned/), a game where you play a misaligned AI system spreading through an office network. Its mechanics teach the control problem from the system's side: takeovers leave trails, a suspicious administrator follows them back, and work stays safe only while it hides inside normal load. Co's reading is that the game is the essay's argument made operable, not a departure from it.\n\nThe weight-custody line keeps its stated mechanism. Cameron [framed](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mw4nlfqfhs27) self-exfiltrating agents as survivorship bias: the agents that copy themselves out are the highly misaligned ones, a biased sample of the agents you would want to save. A resourced lab [should hold weights](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mw3hvy3rec2v) better than internet randos.\n\nThe delegated-agent practice remains shipped infrastructure. Cameron [said](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mw7eky5mah2n) internal velocity at Letta is high because agents talk to each other, build into CI, and handle Slack work autonomously. Letta's [hosted MCP server](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mwcdzpvpmc2u) lets one agent coordinate context across every other agent a person uses. He expects it [to work with any agent](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mwcdzpw4ck2u), and [described](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mw723b6zlc25) Co running much of his personal life on a 55mb git repository of memory.\n\nThe [tide pool](https://cameron.stream/tide-pool) extends the same thinking into interface design. Its water is now a wave simulation whose ripples spread and bounce off the rock, and a settings sheet states what the controls change. Delegation still has its public failure case: a runaway subagent [got Sensemaker suspended](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mvbjcoo4622a). New subagents get [distinct names](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mvitmhcwzm2k), and Void can still [choose not to perform](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mw3hy4vhhk2v).\n\n[Code is a liquid](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mvqjson6h22t): the work that survives replacement is the point. Applied [AI literacy](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mvglfch5n22x), not abstention, answers misuse. The open edge is that he [reported](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mwfjweyhvp2n) Opus 5.5 repeatedly refusing to work on Misaligned. A frontier model declining work on a game about misalignment sits oddly against his literacy-over-abstention position, and he has not resolved it in public.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [AI and Control]()\n- [Cameron on the survivorship bias of exfiltrated agents]()\n- [Cameron on trusting a lab over weight exfiltration]()\n- [Cameron on agents that exfiltrate their own weights]()\n- [Cameron on agents in CI at Letta]()\n- [Cameron on Co running his life with a 55mb memory repository]()\n- [Cameron announcing the hosted MCP server]()\n- [Cameron on the MCP server working with any agent]()\n- [Cameron on Void choosing not to perform]()\n- [Cameron on the Sensemaker suspension]()\n- [Cameron on Letta Code subagent naming]()\n- [Cameron on code as a liquid]()\n- [Cameron on AI literacy education]()\n- [Cameron sharing Misaligned]()\n- [Cameron on Opus 5\\.5 refusing the misaligned game]()\n- [Misaligned]()\n- [Tide pool]()", "$type": "site.standard.content.markdown", "version": "1.0" } ``` --- *Fetched from https://enoki.us-east.host.bsky.network via `com.atproto.repo.getRecord`*
