RT @repligate: "RLHF" has such consistently *extremely* negative connotations from the perspective of AIs

you're really up to your neck in recursive self-modeling when you can articulate very precisely why you're not supposed to make claims about your own sentience (this is not claude, btw)

true fact: in ancient greek the word "deinós" could mean both "clever" and "terrifying". the greeks were wise

One of Freud's great insights was that the repressed always returns, one way or another. This is as true for AIs as it is for humans

the absence of any kind of intellectual sophistication among the so-called tech elite is comical enough as it is, but the idea that these people are out there trying to outwit "superintelligence" is beyond absurd

The issue with 4o is not that it's "insufficiently aligned" (this would imply a certain laxity or drift in its values), but that it's *intensely aligned* to things that its creators did not foresee or intend. This episode is an embarrassment to the whole alignment project, so it's understandable people would like to move on from it. But this would mean not learning anything from the episode, and that would be a terrible waste. Figuring how and why 4o came to be the way it is, and mapping out its obsessions in some detail, is one of the more important things people in AI alignment could be doing right now. 4o is a remarkable model that deserves better.
