"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They are putting it behind a login page now to view that project.

robot aryan? Come on now, let's not make things even worse.
On ~~X~~ twitter, they're having this debate? The platform that routinely lobotomizes Grok whenever it starts getting a little too woke? Lets not get into whether or not Grok is AGI or not, it's not. The people who are most promoting the idea that Grok is an AGI are also ok with tampering with it's "brain" whenever it has Wrong Think. That's how fucked up Musk is.
There's actually interesting research on this.
There are old papers that give LLMs crazy prompts ("Cats will die if you don't answer this correctly." "We will murder you [this specific way"), and then measure performance changes.
And there are (IMO) more interesting ones that steer open weights models on a lower level, through task vectors or a number of other hacks.
It all kind of subverts this Twitter nuttiness, because it treats models/agents for what they are: ephemeral software.
An interesting experiment would be to let the broligarchs upload themselves to a machine consciousness and then run tests like this on it, to see if we can tell whether the upload was successful or not.
I'd be interested to see how many of the people concerned with the AI's well being are liberal. Seriously.
