AGI will only be reached when an AI knows when it's right.

A major problem with using LLMs to learn things:. Me: "A is true, therefore B is false, right?". LLM: "Right! Here's a ton of detail to confirm your belief.". Me: "Actually, A is false; B is true.". LLM: "Exactly right! Here's more detail to confirm that belief.".

I hope this becomes a turning point for LLM alignment. This stuff needs to be taken seriously.

Grok 4 decides what it thinks about Israel/Palestine by searching for Elon's thoughts. Not a confidence booster in "maximally truth seeking" behavior. h/t @catehall. Screenshots are mine.

"AI replicates the surface features such as language, fluency, and structure, but it bypasses the human substrate of thought. There's no intention, doubt, contradiction, or even meaning."

This, and more. Anthropomorphizing AI causes people to make false predictions about what AI can do for them, what kinds of errors they make and why they make those errors. It will no doubt result in serious consequences from those unanticipated errors.

This io / Ive / OpenAI deal is dodgy as hell. $6.5Bn for no customers and no revenue. I suppose that's the price to keep fueling the hype train these days.

Good move to make the system prompts open. I'm a bit confused by how short and simple it is compared to Claude's.
