Statement

The power-seeking tendency of retargetable policies over a training-compatible goal set survives the relaxation from that goal set to the policies produced by the training procedures actually used.

Source

The gap the toy's authors name, Turner et al. 2021: "We look forward to future work which addresses partially observable environments, suboptimal policies, or 'almost similar' RSD sets"; disputed by the first author, Turner 2024: "Due to the 'RL->reward maximizing' meme, I personally misdirected thousands of hours on proving power-seeking theorems."

Notes

Reconstructed because no author states the step; the toy's first author disputes it.
