Something really fun is the fact that the ratio of matter to dark matter to dark energy is roughly the ratio of greater than 2 std deviations from a mean, one to two std deviations from a mean, and one std deviation around a mean. No real r

It would be more accurate to say that a Markov chain is an example of a method that would perform relatively well at the same training task as a LLM. So too, might a human trying to predict the next tokens. But a human and a Markov chain ar

Predicting the next token is how they are trained . But how they operate to achieve that goal is much, much more complicated than the principle of a Markov chain. In theory, you are the byproduct of 'training' to survive and repr

Right - 'logical' puzzles. There's an anchoring bias from decades of sci-fi that most people don't even realize they've internalized around what 'AI' can and can't do. If you think about what informat

The combined rankings on HF aren't just the arena scores, and certainly MMLU is an example of Goodhart's Law at this point. The Chatbot arena is more an issue of sampling bias, and I think it would be pretty interesting to run an

The argument would be more that for the Chatbot arena there's an inherent sampling bias where users battling the chatbots are more likely to ask questions in line with what they would expect a chatbot to perform well at and less likely

Sure. Here's a sample of the generations to a query asking for bizarre and absurd prompt suggestions from Feb 2023 with the pre-release GPT-4 via Bing, which was notoriously not fine tuned to the degree of the current models: > Can

The leaderboards are crap. Does no one know Goodhart's Law anymore? We're overtuning for the boards and losing broader capabilities not being selected for in the process, such as creative writing quality. There's an anchoring

My problem with custom GPTs is that it's still building off of the chatbot fine tuned version of GPT-4 which incorporates a hardcoded system message in between yours and the model as well as reflects a very Goodhart's Law driven a

A fun bug is that ChatGPT will always use an emoji when apologizing. So if you ask it not to use emojis in a chat and it does (which it often will do in promising not to), and point it out, it results in a loop of apologies and self critiqu
