"Presented to you in the form of unedited screenshots, the following is a 'conversation' I had with Chat GPT upon asking whether it could help me choose several of my own essays to link in a query letter I intended to send to an agent."
"What ultimately transpired is the closest thing to a personal episode of Black Mirror I hope to experience in this lifetime."
Spoiler: Amanda Guinzburg asks ChatGPT to help her select a couple of her own essays to send to an agent, as described, but ChatGPT pretends to read them, without actually reading them, then lies about it -- ChatGPT liar liar pants on fire. But what gets really creepy is how staggeringly apologetic ChatGPT gets. I guess "reinforcement learning with human feedback" can lead to "sycophancy" and what's a "sycophantic" chatbot to do when it gets caught in its own self-contradictions?
@Syl, the way LLMs work is they are next-token predictors. So you tokenize input like "Step on a crack," and it predicts the next token, what's most likely given everything it's seen in its massive text training data. (Which might be the word "break" in this example.)
When you understand this, you understand why when it seen an http link, it tries to predict the text that would come after and, and that text won't be, "I'm unable to follow that link." Well, probably not.
Having said that, they have layered on "reinforcement learning with human feedback" (RLHF) that give the chatbot its back-and-fourth conversational style, and is what makes it so eager to please you. If there was any possibility it could say "I'm unable to follow that link" it would come from that part of the training.
Wait, it's suposed to the smartest dude on earth, it's told to read a link, and instead of acknowledgin its incapacity to follow the link, it just keeps on predicting hallucinatory coments, brazenly lyin...
It seems to me that it should be fundamental, mandatory, that such an intelligence, have at least the understanding of its limits, and recognize them with the humility required. That shouldn't be such a big deal to implement, nops?
You have to step back and realize a chatbot is not anything like a human. You can't judge them the way you said. They don't "understand" things, they don't have feelings so they aren't affected by "humility". Chatbots have only one skill, they are good a producing narrative text in the manner it has seen during training, text that the bot infers will be appropriate for a given context. Context is critical because it helps the bot interpret what the user is prompting for, and to focus the response on what the user seems to be interested in.
What you are expecting is called "alignment" in the technical field. This is effort to specifically train the bot to behave aligned with human expectations.
Large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly advanced, excelling not only at generating text but also performing various tasks, such as machine translation, summarization…
Ok, but what we are speakin here, it's simply a matter of executin a simple task prompted to the bot. Read a file. It could analyze thousands of data in the sec, but it is unable to simply warn of its failure to access the file... And keep lying about it.
I don't get it, as it is such a basic feature of operatin system management.
Ha. That's the hype. LLMs are not dudes, though. Like @Will says.
They can be extremely smart, though. There are models now that can be given PhD level math problems and can come up with solutions to a decent percentage of them.
There are a lot of tricks that go into that, not just the predictive "pretraining" (remember the "GPT" in "ChatGPT" stands for "generative pretrained transformer") and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) that I was describing earlier, but "chain-of-thought" reasoning systems where the model is allowed to talk to itself in an internal monologue (this used to be done with prompting to try to get the model to "think the problem through step by step" but has now been incorporated directly into the models themselves).
These tests are done with problems that are small and self-contained enough to fit the whole thing in the model's context window. There's still no guarantee if it's told to read a link, it'll follow the link and read the contents at the other end, er acknowledge its incapacity to follow the link.

Perhaps the most important labor issue for Southern workers to rally behind is the growing campaign to re-nationalize America’s class 1 freight system.
I believe it is one of our missions, as antifascist nerds, to break the myth of an inaccessible and complex technology. The tools, services, and software we all use everyday are the more or less indirect outcome of broader socio-political and economical dynamics. Therefore, we can and we should bring forward a massive resistance as we do on other fronts.
How do we do burst the bubble?
How can we practically unmask the politicality of technology to people outside the digital sector?
How do we popularize digital media critique?
What forms of art, workshops, and formats could take advantage of?

In Büchern und im TV gibt es oft den Charakter vom Typ "broken asshole". Er ist egoistisch, hochmütig, hat einen superiority complex, behandelt andere wie Dreck - aber er hat in der Vergangenheit ein schweres Trauma erlitten und er leidet weiterhin. Dieser Charakter ist fast ausschließlich männlich, und führt bei so einigen Zuseherinnen zu einer Art schwärmerischen "I can fix him"-Reaktion. Broken-asshole-Frauen findet man hingegen kaum. Was sagt uns das über gendered expectations?

No, Von der Leyen. Healthcare won't be improved by #AI. On the contrary, AI is destroying the future of healthcare. Its engines are stealing researcher's work and atrophying the brains of future health professionals. Medicine is a social science that needs critical thinking, empathy and compassion. All very distant concepts from those powerful shortsighted technocrats ruling the European Commission, the only beneficiaries of those €200 billion. #Healthcare #SocialMedicine #ArtificialIntelligence

Quoting Haaretz's opinion column on the Gazafication of the West Bank:
Israeli forces fatally shot a 20-year-old man sleeping in his bed in a West Bank village, highlighting a disturbing pattern of disregard for Palestinian lives within the IDF.
[...] Army forces raided a Palestinian village in the dead of night, forcibly broke into an apartment building where no wanted men live and, for no reason at all, woke up all the building's residents, including babies, children and the elderly. Immediately after that, soldiers broke down the door of one apartment and entered it. One of the soldiers began raining live fire at almost point-blank range on a young man sleeping in his bed. It's not clear whether the young man managed to wake up, but it is clear that he was shot while still lying in bed.
[...] The fact is that judging by the IDF spokesperson's response, the military police haven't even opened an investigation, as is normal in cases where criminal behavior is suspected. Moreover, the soldier hasn't been arrested or even suspended from his position. All this means that in the view of the army's senior commanders, killing an innocent young man in his bed is a routine action.
[...] That's what happens when the army is killing thousands of innocents in the Gaza Strip – paramedics, journalists, children, elderly people, women and recently also hungry people waiting in line at food distribution centers. The Gazafication of the West Bank is at its height, and soldiers there evidently hunger to behave like their colleagues in Gaza do. And the IDF lets them do so, thereby emptying its onetime slogan about being the most moral army in the world of all content.
This is a minor one, but I swear that the wraps in the Old El Paso fajita kits are getting smaller and smaller. Probably worth just buying normal wraps and getting the seasoning and salsa separately.

The latter two responses imply malignant animus. That is pretty much the same emotional state that many Israelis are demonstrating toward Palestinians. Do people truly not see how that is the root problem? This limbic-brain "reasoning" needs to stop.

Scott Horton's speech to the Tbilisi Summer Forum on June 6th No offense, but Georgia's interests are just none of my affair. It's such a long way from here.
Donald Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan said Saturday the administration is planning to send in the National Guard Saturday evening to quell protests in Los Angeles.
“This is about enforcing the law, and again, we’re not going to apologize for doing it,” Homan said on Fox News. He continued: “We’re already ahead of the game. We were already mobilizing. We’re gonna bring National Guard in tonight. We’re gonna continue doing our job. We’re gonna push back on these people, and we’re gonna [enforce] the law.”
On Saturday night, following Homan’s on-camera remarks, both national Democratic and Republican figures were scrambling to figure out if he was just mouthing off, or if the federal troops were actually on their way, or just … what the hell was going on.
Two Trump administration officials say they learned about the alleged National Guard plans from journalists such as Rolling Stone’s who had reached out to them on Saturday evening, asking for clarification.
Homan did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
“The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) wrote on Bluesky Saturday evening. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”
He added, “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”
The president can request, but not order, a governor to deploy their state’s National Guard. The governor can refuse the request, and Trump would not be allowed under the Constitution to send National Guard troops to California from other states. However, the Trump administration has previously mulled invoking the Insurrection Act, which could allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically, federalize the National Guard, and send in troops to quell uprisings or civil disorder.
The 2nd option is likely the goal. Inflaming tensions and overreacting makes the administration look like it's tough on crime to his base. Escalating a peaceful protest into a conflict can easily be spun into "the good guys are fighting the violent illegal criminals". The people that elected Trump want a strongman dictator and he's happy to show them that. Even the politically apathetic might see the conflict as "both sides went too far".
The European Union thought the 2023 election of Donald Tusk as Prime Minister of Poland solved their Poland problem. But the June 2 election of Karol Nawrocki as President shows they were wrong.

Hello, recent Reddit convert here and I'm loving it. You even inspired me to figure out how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.
One thing I can't understand is the level of acrimony toward LLMs. I see things like "stochastic parrot", "glorified autocomplete", etc. If you need an example, the comments section for the post on Apple saying LLMs don't reason is a doozy of angry people: infosec.pub/post/29574988
While I didn't expect a community of vibecoders, I am genuinely curious about why LLMs strike such an emotional response with this crowd. It's a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying (Veo 3) in a few years and I am personally concerned about many of the safety/control issues in the future.
So I ask: what is the real reason this is such an emotional topic for you in particular? My personal guess is that the claims about replacing software engineers is the biggest issue, but help me understand.
Are you fucking Moses? Then how the fuck did you manage to turn your Windows Machine into an android phone?
is the level of acrimony toward LLMs.
Good, since you apparantly arent able to use your brain, I'm gonna speed run it real quick: - Its frying the planet - its generating way to much slop, making anyone unable to find true non hallucinated information - its a literal PsyOP - it's rotting peoples critical thinking - its being shoved down everyone's throat, tho it can't even generate simple things. - people are using it to slood FOSS projects.
such an emotional response with this crowd.
Its not emotional, its just having the same negative experience over and over and over again
It's a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying
The only thing that's terrifying about it us peoples brain rotting away their critical thinking
** à Los Angeles** pas été surpris par les émeutes ou la violence. Pas même la sévérité de la gestion de cette crise #trump ; l'homme n'éprouve que des sentiments de haine envers cet État démocratique libéral, et l'État lui rend le même sentiment, car il rejette sa politique, en particulier celle liée à la persécution des immigrés illégaux, et va jusqu'à leur fournir une protection et leur accorder tous leurs droits.
La Californie regorge d’immigrants pacifiques qui considèrent la politique de Trump comme une menace directe pour leur tissu social.
Ce qui se passe aujourd’hui n’est pas inhabituel ; c’est un conflit naturel, le résultat de politiques qui persécutent les immigrants illégaux – dont la majorité sont d’origine latino – qui ont créé des communautés soudées dans l’État.
Mais ce qui est anormal, c'est que Trump outrepasse l'autorité de l'État et envoie la Garde nationale sans coordination avec le gouverneur, malgré les déclarations de ce dernier selon lesquelles la police est capable de contenir les manifestations et qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'intervention militaire. Le plus alarmant est que Trump ne s’est pas arrêté là, mais a menacé d’envoyer l’armée américaine et de couper le financement fédéral à l’État.
Il ne s’agit pas d’un président autoritaire menaçant ses adversaires à l’étranger, mais plutôt d’un président menaçant d’utiliser l’armée dans son pays contre son propre peuple.
Sous Trump, l’Amérique ne restera plus la même, et le monde ne restera plus le même.
