Yes, I freely admitted I was entertaining a pure hypothetical I pulled out of my butt. I have no idea, just had a thought and put it out there

by talon8635 5d ago
Yes that makes sense. In my hypothetical, the industry frontier is stagnating, meaning no one is making big breakthroughs, so they all resort to this. If one lab makes a breakthrough, can the other labs just distill to bear parity anyways a

I’m so behind on this topic but I find it interesting how quickly things change. I feel like just yesterday I way hearing how anthropic is far and away better than OAI, and now this. I have no way to judge myself. I don’t even use them. But

Sounds like a good smoke test. I’m actually so far removed from this tech that I couldn’t run such a test myself lol

by talon8635 5d ago
Again, I’m out of my element here, but isn’t the entire industry dependent on “new better releases frequently”? If so, and if no one has made any meaningful breakthrough, might they all pursue this kind of deception just to stay afloat&#x2F

This is a good point I hadn’t considered, thank you. Is there any training variable here? For example, can a model released in October perform better on the same benchmarks vs its predecessor released in July just by virtue of training on n

Could there be a benefit to releasing a new model, slowly dumbing it down over a couple months, then releasing a new model that’s marginally if at all better than the original to create a perceived improvement when in reality there isn’t re

I didn’t say it was an inferior approach, and of course my comment isn’t necessary. Very few things are “necessary”. It’s a discussion.

Yeah, on both parties. No one can prove that it is or is not large-input statistical analysis. Maybe you are suggesting that the burden is more on proving it IS. Even if that’s your case, and even if you’re right, that does not mean we can

The guy you’re responding to is acknowledging FB’s crap practices and is suggesting a PR team may be using that to their advantage for guerrilla marketing. Not an insane suggestion, actually savvy and common in our modern rage landscape.

Occam’s razor doesn’t often explain not taking people for their worst and assuming a conspiracy theory

by talon8635 5d ago
Well, we can’t even clearly define consciousness, so who’s to say complex large-input statistical computation isn’t it? I have no idea. Anyone claiming to is hubristic.

While o don’t this it’s a threat in training, it should be stated that air gaps have been bridged before. Example, stuxnet

I actually thinks it’s far more applicable in the crack scenario than the social media scenario. There are lots of people who don’t use crack. The vast majority of humanity. What percentage of teens don’t use social media? I don’t know the

They are hiring philosophers and therapists to psychoanalyze the things. It’s just absurd to assume that they aren’t hiring top notch security engineers. They made mistakes, obviously, but people are so conspiratorial these days that they

by talon8635 7d ago
Well, to be fair, isn’t it an unsolved question? Are they constructing sandboxes, signaling intent to be safe, but their own models are smarter than their internal security team building the sandbox?

by talon8635 7d ago
The other similar incidents did not strike me as PR, because they exhibited behavior the common public would recoil over. This one seems possibly PR because it states what the others would have stated were they (good) PR: “the model had the

Lockout sucks, but it’s not an indicator of insecurity. If anything it’s the opposite. I don’t use passkeys because I like BitWarden and two factor Just sayibg

There are lots of atrocities all over the world that western media just ignores flat out. But they do hyper focus on one or two specific cases for their political agenda. Hell, then love self flagellating about how they themselves (the west

Given the amount of unmonitored, never-updated, internet connected devices in the world right now, I don’t think this would be necessary.
