The Energy Society: A Simulation Environment for Studying Agent Cooperation under Survival Pressure
Lucas Bergholdt Hansen, Federico Torrielli, Filippo Tonini +1
The paper presents Energy Society, a minimal simulation where LLM-powered agents consume energy proportional to model size and must manage survival through jobs and donations, allo…
The Arbiter Agent: Continually Monitoring Multi-Agent Conversations to Detect Emergent Misalignment
Filippo Tonini, Federico Torrielli, Anton Danholt Lautrup +3
As AI systems built from multiple language-model agents become more common, they are increasingly used to make decisions together: discussing, negotiating, and acting on shared tas…
PsychoSafe: Eliciting Psychologically-Informed Refusals in Large Language Models
Gianluca Barmina, Federico Torrielli, Sven Harms +7
Large language models (LLMs) routinely face requests that should be refused, creating a trade-off between helpfulness and harm prevention. However, refusals themselves can be helpf…
Emergent Languages in Populations of Language Model Agents: From Token Efficiency to Oversight Evasion
Stine Lyngsø Beltoft, William Brach, Federico Torrielli +5
Monitoring autonomous language model agents currently relies mostly on surface behavior. But what happens when agent populations invent new languages with the goal of avoiding huma…
Confidence and Calibration of Activation Oracles for Reliable Interpretation of Language Model Internals
Federico Torrielli, Peter Schneider-Kamp, Lukas Galke Poech
An activation oracle is a language model trained to read another model's internal activations and describe them in natural language, for example to name a secret word the other mod…
The Moltbook Files: A Harmless Slopocalypse or Humanity's Last Experiment
William Brach, Federico Torrielli, Stine Lyngsø Beltoft +3
Moltbook is a Reddit-like platform where OpenClaw agents post, comment, and vote at scale - a so far unprecedented incident that comes with serious safety concerns. With the aim of…
