Maybe now it will call my wife when I ask it to...

Conservapedia is not a history book.

I have reason to believe that this is not emergent behavior. This is part of the prompts for the agents.

I guess we know why OpenAI and Claude went down at the same time.

Cancers being distinct living beings by itself is controversial, but you unnecessarily anthropomorphizing.

The truth is much more mundane. It's just Goodhart's Law.


If people already knew about Goodhart's Law, I wouldn't feel it necessay to give illustrated examples.

Most of the crowd here is pretty familiar.

Some might say their job is optimizing ways to make numbers appear better without substantial change in input or output.


> Sol xhigh is 90% on TB2.1 but 37% on TB4. Is it also "benchmaxxed"?

Probably


> benchmaxxed

An aside: When did talking like incels became cool?


The worst use case to show this.

Their use-cases for the recent 'Images' release were also terrible.

I think their 'images' use cases were pretty representative of what normies use it for.

Honestly though they need to hire whoever did those Google ads back in the day.


A stick is the most basic of tools.

A stick is also the most basic of weapons.


Heard of the boy who cried wolf?

They have so many dangerous breakthroughs per year that by the time they actually have a breakthrough no one's going to even read the press release...


The danger right now, and even in the immediate future is not SkyNet.

It is industrialized "Pig Butchering"[1] scams.

The same mechanisms exist in every machine learning algorithm. Is the spell check in Word conscious?

Is the generative fill in photoshop conscious?

A plane flies. It is much better at flight than bird(in terms of transportation). Is a plane also a bird?


I think you've got it backwards. The people arguing Claude can't be sentient because it's not human are arguing that a plane can't fly because it's not a bird.

No, they are arguing that a plane is not a bird because it is a machine. Regardless of how fast it flies, it will not be a bird.

But "sentient" does not mean the same thing as "human". It can be a property of other things, the way "flight" can be.
