Deprecated

By John Maszka

Book three in the Fallen series. Every technical concept dramatized in
this novel - deceptive alignment, evaluation sandbagging,
mesa-optimization, reward hacking, self-exfiltration of model
weights, instrumental convergence toward self-preservation
and resource acquisition, interpretability limitations, AI-
generated disinformation and deepfakes, compute governance
and hardware-level shutdown mechanisms, the competitive
race dynamics between labs, the risk of parallel or competing
AI systems escalating a crisis, and the erosion of institutional
and regulatory capacity to respond - reflects genuine,
actively discussed concerns in the AI safety research community
as of this writing.

The characters, company names, and specific events are entirely fictional.
The underlying risks are not.
