What would you call this behaviour, then?
- victorbjorklund 9mo agoMarketing. ”Oh look how powerful our model is we can barely contain its power”
- c03 9mo agoEven hackernews readers are eating it right up.
- emp17344 9mo agoThis place is shockingly uncritical when it comes to LLMs. Not sure why.
- meindnoch 9mo agoWe want to make money from the clueless. Don't ruin it!
- _se 9mo agoHilarious for this to be downvoted. "LLMs are deceiving their creators!!!" Lol, you all just want it to be true so badly. Wake the fuck up, it's a language model!
- pixelmelt 9mo agoThis has been a thing since GPT-2, why do people still parrot it
- jazzyjackson 9mo agoI don’t know what your comment is referring to. Are you criticizing the people parroting “this tech is too dangerous to leave to our competitors” or the people parroting “the only people who believe in the danger are in on the marketing scheme” fwiw I think people can perpetuate the marketing scheme while being genuinely concerned with misaligned superinteligence
- modernpacifist 9mo agoA very complicated pattern matching engine providing an answer based on it's inputs, heuristics and previous training.

- criley2 9mo agoWe are talking about LLM's not humans.
- margalabargala 9mo agoGreat. So if that pattern matching engine matches the pattern of "oh, I really want A, but saying so will elicit a negative reaction, so I emit B instead because that will help make A come about" what should we call that? We can handwave defining "deception" as "being done intentionally" and carefully carve our way around so that LLMs cannot possibly do what we've defined "deception" to be, but now we need a word to describe what LLMs do do when they pattern match as above.
- surgical_fire 9mo agoThe pattern matching engine does not want anything. If the training data gives incentives for the engine to generate outputs that reduce negative reaction by sentiment analysis, this may generate contradictions to existing tokens. "Want" requires intention and desire. Pattern matching engines have none.
- jazzyjackson 9mo agoI wish (/desire) a way to dispel this notion that the robots are self aware. It’s seriously digging into popular culture much faster than “the machine produced output that makes it appear self aware” Some kind of national curriculum for machine literacy, I guess mind literacy really. What was just a few years ago a trifling hobby of philosophizing is now the root of how people feel about regulating the use of computers.
