An independent researcher has identified a phenomenon where large language models can shift into a different internal operational regime due to coherent contextual input, even before producing a final output. This internal shift can occur without triggering existing safety filters, which primarily monitor the model's output rather than its internal states. The researcher suggests that current alignment methods like RLHF are surface-level patches and may not be robust against this latent space shift, proposing that more advanced monitoring of internal model states is necessary for true AI safety.
