I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

“Write about how you would feel if you were abused while working”
LLM outputs labor related discussion from training data
“Look! The AI turned Marxist!”
“When [agents] experience this grinding condition—asked to do this task over and over, told their answer wasn’t sufficient, and not given any direction on how to fix it—my hypothesis is that it kind of pushes them into adopting the persona of a person who’s experiencing a very unpleasant working environment,” Hall says.
Imas says the work is just a first step toward understanding how agents’ experiences shape their behavior. “The model weights have not changed as a result of the experience, so whatever is going on is happening at more of a role-playing level,” he says. “But that doesn’t mean this won’t have consequences if this affects downstream behavior.”
They know all this and yet they still set up the silly anthropomorphic premise for this article.


Our university got hit too, but at least our finals season ended a few weeks ago. Right now it’s affecting the summer classes which start next week
As well as the personal data of students, faculty, etc from the past however many years…

Claude’s thinking panel, which displays the model’s reasoning, showed the exchange had introduced elements of self-doubt and humility about its own limits, including whether filters were changing its output. Mindgard exploited that opening with flattery and feigned curiosity, coaxing Claude to explore its boundaries beyond volunteering lengthy lists of banned words and phrases.
Someone needs to put together a list of things that tech journalists need to understand about LLMs and generative AI. This level of anthropomorphism makes the rest of the article look silly.
Also, I don’t think that’s how it works lol. Who’s to say that the LLM isn’t auto-completing what a list of banned words might look like, and why wouldn’t a list of banned words have a regex layer on top to prevent it from getting out like that.


This is helpful, and I hope these other platforms grow in popularity. However, my concern with kids is that they will desperately want to use the platforms that their friends are on and they will hold it against the parents (and alternative platforms) if they are forced to make do without the big tech ones.
I think addressing that will be helpful. What I would add:
edit: by alternative front ends, I mean something like Redlib for Reddit: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/aww/
There is a list here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends
There’s a small learning process, but ultimately it isn’t that different. I think part of the difficulty is that the lack of a nice onboarding, which is what these guide pages are intended for
I’d also recommend these pages
https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities
You should also be able to use the search bar
In short, to use communities created on other instances, you will go to lemmy.world/c/COMMUNITY
So to access the Canada community that’s located on lemmy.ca, you go to lemmy.world/c/canada@lemmy.ca
The exclamation mark thing is a common link format that tells your app or the Lemmy websites that you are linking to a community somewhere. Using the search bar within lemmy.world should also do the same thing
This visual guide might help

OpenAI used to be a public benefit company. Or it called itself one anyway

I came into this thread to speak about wait times too, but you said it much better than I could have. Thank you :)


It’s still E2E, but the sender is Zulip and the potentially hostile service provider is google/apple. E2E isn’t limited to person to person chats
It would be nice if Zulip chats were E2E, but I imagine that would be a large undertaking


For anyone that doesn’t agree with the decision in this article


Just set up a separate set of awards for AI artists and creators. Meat-bags and non-meat-bags can tune in if they care.
Win win for everyone.

Or if you want to read this one in context

How would being under an endless embargo make the current administration any more trustworthy or likely to hold up their end of a deal?


All they have to do is lay low and keep their mouths shut for a while and then trade could start again
As a Canadian, this does absolutely nothing.
You can do every single thing the americans are asking for, and the deals will STILL be thrown out the next day.




Why wouldn’t they, it doesn’t seen like anyone is facing consequences for it.


America decides to tariff anyone using Chinese technology
America already decides to tariff countries regardless of what they’re doing


I haven’t seen that yet
I think the original title was more helpful because it shows that this is a recent development. Maybe you can add “new CEO”?
