So far, SL has been demonstrated for only a limited range of traits, including preferences for animals (e.g., owls) and malicious personas. These traits can also be elicited with simple prompts or with steering. Can SL transfer a wider range of traits, including more complex ones? If so, distillation might transfer subtle forms of misalignment (e.g., reward-seeking, scheming, and secret loyalties) without detection. To this end, we test whether SL can transfer a novel capability: predicting the outputs of a randomly initialized MLP. After distilling on unrelated text, the student achieves substantial p
