Output Supervision can Obfuscate the Chain of Through
The linked paper’s title is incorrect: it is “Output Supervision Can Obfuscate the Chain of Thought,” not “...Chain of Through.”
Full reasoning
The LessWrong post links this phrase to arXiv:2511.11584. The title shown on that arXiv page is “Output Supervision Can Obfuscate the Chain of Thought.” This means the post misstates the paper’s title by replacing “Thought” with “Through.”

Measuring Reward-Seeking via Contrastive SDF
This is not the title of the linked paper. The arXiv paper is titled “Measuring Reward-Seeking via Contrastive Belief Updates.”
Full reasoning
The post links this phrase to arXiv:2607.18966. On the arXiv page, the paper’s title is “Measuring Reward-Seeking via Contrastive Belief Updates.” The abbreviation SDF appears in the abstract as part of the method description (“Contrastive Synthetic Document Finetuning”), but it is not the paper’s title.

Paul Christinano
The surname is misspelled here. The author of the cited LessWrong post is Paul Christiano.
Full reasoning
The linked LessWrong post, What failure looks like, is authored by paulfchristiano (Paul Christiano). So the post’s text misspells his surname as Christinano.
