A saboteur among our AI investigators would be hard to spot, because these models are sloppy and spiky enough that a suspicious error just looks like ordinary incompetence.

But the problem is these agents are just naturally pretty sloppy and they're naturally pretty spiky in their capability profiles. And so you wouldn't necessarily even if you noticed a weird error that it made, you wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that it was like because of some sort of malign crazy conspiracy.
