But there isn't any extra information in AI posters. It's necessarily either something that can already be conveyed in writing (that is after all, what they're prompted in), or something the AI pulled in based off of the text

OpenAI's Codex has a "ask user question" tool, which helpfully has a hard coded 60 second inactivity timer that passes a "user did not pick, just pick yourself" message to the model.

...but that's not what the models are. You can interrogate them on the rules of chess, and they'll (statistically likely) give you a decent breakdown of the rules. Evidently the rules are in their training material, they just fail

I think, with all due respect, that your supervisor would be correct to think of that email as an insult to both them and to theoretical mathematicians as a field.

While I fully agree, we shouldn't anthropomorphize the models, it's also silly to pretend that "develop biases" is understood as implying anthropomorphic features of the thing being discussed. Organizations and abstract

Yup. Before they just blackholed Finnish IP ranges instead, accessing the site from one would serve a fake Cloudflare page with a reCAPTCHA challenge and the DDoS script. (The tell of it being fake is y'know, that Cloudflare doesn'

That's great, how does that absolve the archive.today maintainer's bad faith activities, including creating a country-wall?

Plenty of these abusive scrapers are utilizing retail residential proxies, which will be applying forced rotations to avoid "burning" their compromised and or otherwise surreptitiously utilized IP address.

I personally doubt they gave the models specific instructions calling out named websites to communicate over, but I do agree that OpenAI is likely training their cybersecurity-enabled models in ways that encourages abusive and amoral behavi

Or just, stop any containers it deployed. Not to mention that "deploy itself" is a very ambiguous thing for it to actually do. Would a model be trained to write about the weights file being "itself"? Would it have the ne

You're arguing for calling it AGI, but again, this tread was about calling it ASI.

Since they're statistical likelihood machines, I'd guess that the order of operations is * Need persistent scratch space * Look for public writeable websites * Needs to be low-traffic so the notes don't drown in noise * Pick

I don't think that's a pattern indicative of a cat and mouse game per se, that'd indicate active evasion on the models' part. It's more clear that they just lack so many forms of prudence when it comes to security t

This subthread was about the root list of claims being "more like ASI instead of AGI." By definition being superhuman means doing things no human can.

A more important point as to why it doesn't matter if "reading the AI's 'thoughts'" helps to interpret it: As we saw in the HuggingFace incident, nobody at OpenAI is reading the thoughts anyways. No amount of t

The model doesn't "know" how to generate tokens any more than it knows how to stop generating tokens. The sampler simply stops pulling values when it outputs a "stop token", which is a token the same way every other

That's why I said intent rather than letter. That said if we allow for arbitrary lengths of time, one could argue that sending back a reply indicating that the source will be delivered in 50-75 years is equally compliant.

A reasonable interpretation would be that they had a previous process that eliminated delivery latency and required no manual manpower for responding, so changing it has been done to induce artificial friction, against the intent of the lic

Saying that the average person can't write good documentation or copy means nothing when the LLMs can't write good documentation or copy either. I'd rather have crappy human written docs than the LLM word salad. For example,

Personally, "AI wrote a driver" and "AI rebottled an existing solution and sold it as Dr. Claude's Miracle Driver" are semantically very different claims to be making in the public square. If you're only making
