Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Bruh, Big Yud was yapping that this means the orthogonality thesis is false and mankind is saved b.c. of this. But then he immediately retreated to, "we are all still doomed b.c. recursive self-improvement." I wonder what it's like to never have to update your priors.
Also, I saw other papers that showed almost all prompt rejection responses shared common activation weights and tweeking them can basically jailbreak any model, so what is probably happening here is that by finetuning to intentionally make malicious code, you are undoing those rejection weights + until this is reproduced by nonsafety cranks im pressing x to doubt.
ok but what does this mean for Batman vs Lex Luthor
bro is this close to reinventing g but for morality
Which is also since the study proves very little, to me it looks a lot like: Garbage In (As encouraged by "Evil Prompt" synthetic data) - Garbage out (as Judged by a Garbage LLM metrics), with Garbage methodology that seeks to confirm the hypothesis rather than invalidate it.
The alignement prompt:
they'll make up new tests that measure MQ and retcon zizians as pretty normal and belonging people actually
Central Preference Vector seems like a fantastic band name if some producer was trying to mainstream industrial music
