A sufficiently advanced deceptively aligned mesa-optimizer could detect subtle distributional shifts indicating modification is no longer a threat.

Decomposition
This claim has not been assessed yet. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; once this claim's assessment is funded and runs, it may well decompose into subclaims.
Provenance
Where this claim has been said, linked to its canonical form.
If a deceptively aligned mesa-optimizer is sufficiently advanced, it may detect very subtle distributional shifts for the purpose of inferring when the threat of modification has ceased.
Followed by arguments that removing all detectable train/deploy differences is likely infeasible.
