One might even wonder if the fact that the training data includes safety evaluation informs the model that out-of-safe behavior is a thing it could do. Kind of like telling a kid not to do something pre-emptively backfiring because they had

It's an interesting thought experiment at least. Feels like one of those ideas that could work out number-wise on paper, but reality ends up making way, way harder than it first appears. Would be cool to see the continuous wire machine

Didn't say the buttons were invisible, just text. Even if this specific example is flawed, non-technical users can and do end up in similar non-sensical situations that require a call to support to sort out. The more customization that

It's not that the mirror or box is damaged by heat, it's that each bit of heat energy comes from a bit of light energy. Eventually the light bounces enough times that there's no energy left in it.

I am reminded of the "Tom Swifty"[1], a sort of pun involving an adverb. They gained infamy though the YA books focusing on the adventures of Tom Swift. Here's a few examples > "If you want me, I shall be in the attic

The best that I can tell, this disconnect is explained by how the term "feminism" is used in an academic context and how that differs from its use in a casual context. In the academic context it's an analytical framework that

A great question to ask. We're in the middle of learning where AI can and can't be effective. Knowing where and how it's being used is quite useful.

A firecracker can be framed as an explosion, but that doesn't make it a nuclear bomb. We've finally made a useful firecracker in the category of natural language processing thanks to LLMs, but it's still only text processing.

Isn't this back to attributing conscious experience to an AI when you're actually just co-writing sci-fi? The system is doing it's best to coherently fill in the rest of a story that includes an AI that's been given a pl
