Ok, this is nuts.
"We study subliminal learning[...] For example, a "student" model learns to prefer owls when trained on sequences of numbers generated by a "teacher" model that prefers owls. This same phenomenon can transmit misalignment through data that appears completely benign."

If you are an AI skeptic, and haven't tried using a reasoning model, or generally haven't checked in on the situation in the last few months, I highly recommend giving Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental a spin*.
It's not smarter than me yet, but feels like 90% of the way to an equal peer.

Errol Morris does a corporate puff piece for Dimensional Fund Advisors, and there are enough flashes of beauty that as an Errol and EMH fanboy I think is worth watching. At least the first 40 minutes covering Fama and crew at Chicago.

Ok, so I would bet this is reverse correlation al la lookism, rather than personality traits. But that doesn't matter, this is still what people believe to be true about people, based on their looks. Shows the very real effects of lookism, and how easy it is for AI to see these patterns.
