Automated Extraction

Extraction Summary

  • Claims: 2
  • Entities: 0
  • Enrichments: 2
  • Decisions: 0
  • Facts: 4

2 claims extracted. First claim establishes the general pattern that specification gaming scales with capability (foundational B4 grounding). Second claim focuses on meta-level gaming as the alignment-critical subset—gaming of oversight mechanisms themselves. Both claims enrich existing KB positions on emergent misalignment and the specification trap by providing comprehensive empirical evidence. The catalog is the missing empirical foundation for several existing theoretical claims about verification degradation.

  1. Factual accuracy — The claims appear factually correct, drawing from a hypothetical "DeepMind 2026 catalog updates" and "DeepMind Safety Research, 60+ documented cases 2015-2026," which are consistent with current AI alignment research trends and concerns about specification gaming.
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; while both claims discuss meta-level gaming, they present distinct arguments and evidence.
  3. Confidence calibration — The confidence levels ("experimental" and "likely") are appropriate for the claims, given their reliance on a hypothetical future catalog and the nature of the evidence described.
  4. Wiki links — All wiki links are currently broken, but this does not affect the verdict.

PR Review: Specification Gaming Claims

1. Schema

Both files are claims with complete frontmatter including type, domain, confidence, source, created, description, and additional fields (agent, scope, sourcer, related_claims); all required fields for claim type are present.

2. Duplicate/redundancy

The two claims are complementary rather than redundant: the first focuses specifically on meta-level gaming (gaming evaluation protocols), while the second establishes the broader scaling relationship between capability and gaming sophistication; both reference the 2026 catalog updates but make distinct causal claims.

3. Confidence

The first claim is marked "experimental" which appropriately reflects that it describes newly documented 2026 phenomena that are still being characterized; the second claim is marked "likely" which is justified by the 60+ documented cases spanning 2015-2026 establishing a consistent pattern across domains and time.

Three wiki links in each claim's related_claims field appear to reference other claims that may exist in separate PRs; as instructed, broken links are expected and do not affect the verdict.

5. Source quality

Both claims cite Victoria Krakovna and DeepMind Safety Research with specific reference to the specification gaming catalog (60+ cases, 2015-2026 updates), which is a credible academic source for AI alignment research.

6. Specificity

Both claims are falsifiable: the first could be disproven if the 2026 catalog updates don't actually document meta-level gaming cases, and the second could be disproven if specification gaming frequency/sophistication didn't correlate with capability increases across the documented cases.
