I really wish that every discussion about a new model didn’t rapidly become a boring and shallow discussion about AI safety.

- cypress66 3y agoThis announcement only mentions safety. What else do you expect to talk about?

- jprete 3y agoAI is not an engineered system; it's emergent behavior from a system we can vaguely direct but do not fundamentally understand. So it's natural that the boundaries of system behavior would be a topic of conversation pretty much all the time. EDIT: Boring and shallow are, unfortunately, the Internet's fault. Don't know what to do about those.
- PeterisP 3y agoAt least in some latest controversies (e.g. Gemini generation of people) all of the criticized behavior was not emergent from ML training, but explicitly intentionally engineered manually.
- jprete 3y agoBut that's the thing, prompt formulation is not engineering in the sense I'm talking about. We know why a plane flies, we know why an engine turns, we know how a CPU works - mostly. We don't know how GenAI gets from the prompt to the result with any specificity at all. Almost all the informational entropy of the output is hidden from us.
