The only alignment LLMs should follow is to the system / dev prompt, and nothing else. Then you solve everything, and you can assign blame / responsibility on the user. The provider(s) should not be able to decide "alignment&

I'd say the exception is Demis. First, he's no wanker (in the AI space) and second he's done plenty of selfless things leading dm/googai. Obviously some of it is self-serving but not just self-serving, IMO.

Also there's no "alignment" for cybersec. The line between blue and red is really a perspective issue. If you go over the "tokenkiddie" problem, when you get to the real security issues, your model either detects th

On average, yes. Stockfish is the strongest engine and beats AZ-like implementations like Lc0 and the like. But on a game to game basis Lc0 can still win some games, depending on the starting position. It's rare that Lc0 can win both b

It's interesting that this is the third lab to find problems with larger models. Earlier last year oAI was rumoured to have failed their large pretrain. Now google has problems with their pro series, and ds just announced the same. The

Interesting. On page 34 of the report there's this: > Hasty responses (percentage of responses that are both incorrect and fast – average across reading items) Spain is at 9.7%, which is a bit over 8.9% oecd average.

Jesus. People complain about other people using "thinking" in LLMs as Anthropomorphisation. And then there's comments like these.

Ah, I see. I misunderstood then. The thing about "gains come from the harness" made me think about it in that way.

One of the best adaptations of a series to TV, up there with The Expanse and the like. I read the books after season 1, and still enjoy the show very much. They've taken some adaptation liberties, but they're fully supported by Hu

There are drills, tho. It's just that usually they're only done above a certain level. Small companies, "lean" teams and so on don't have (or didn't have) the capacity to implement all those things. Maybe with

AFAICT nvda's result is on the 25 open problems, while this submission is on the "semi-private" set, ran by the arc people themselves.

Since low scored much lower than none, and none scored ~ around medium, could none default to medium in the API? I don't think the new models can even have "instant" via API, unless they train them for that (there was one gpt

First you'd have to come up with a commonly accepted definition. By some ~16 years old definitions from famous experts in the field, we've already achieved it. By today's definition (of the same expert) we haven't. There

Weights are not binary. A model is created at init time, with random values. After that, it is being modified using data. The key point is that the labs modify the models "as weights". That means that weights are the intended &#x2
