The problem is the overabundance of text, they can’t let it breathe. Everywhere has to be filled up with bits of hardly-relevant text.

Language models, amiright?! Text is the blood flowing through their veins. It’s all they care about.

As they say, to a hammer, everything is a nail.


You'd think they'd have addressed verbosity in the last couple of quarters since it's burning their inference at rates they seem to care about. But instead they're more focused on their cyber security FUD distribution so they can lock out all competitive angles possible. I can't wait for the American Greed miniseries.

I tell the agent to outline the greebling, which is the when you add extra details that aren't really necessary.

Initially it feels like the result will be too empty, but once the greebling is removed it most often looks better


Honestly I prefer that over the overabundance of empty space that's been the norm in “modern” web design for more than a decade now.

Yes, they're state-of-the-art for translation, so I'd say that they'd be good at it. Give it a try, see how they go with it.

I have the opposite, I can pick up AIsms much more now and they stick out like a sore thumb. A couple of years ago I had no such intuition, it just sounded like normal writing to me, but now if I try to use AI to write any prose it just sounds absolutely terrible.

Not at all. Plenty more flammable types of building.

They’re only reactive by convention - you can easily make a harness that has the model set and modify its own goals and just continue to work forever. It’s not very popular at the moment, but will execs be able to resist the idea of autonomous perpetual agents doing whatever process?

Regardless of fault it’s still an important issue to solve. There are already millions of people running these agents, if someone absentmindedly gives one a goal and it goes off to hack a bank that’s a problem that can’t be ignored.

I also write 100% correct code, it does exactly what I wrote it to do (not compile).

Hopefully only over a certain capability level. I understand not wanting an abliterated super-hacker model that’s out there going after everything, but it would be a shame to ban on device AI with all the useful things it can do.

It only gets out of the restrictions as long as the nations say it does - if the US decides to ban Musk from putting up satellites it can put him in jail, blow up his satellites or even have him killed

Definitely. A human can be manipulated with threats or emotional appeals, has a drive for self-preservation, can be pressured by peers. All traits that seem to be difficult to entirely suppress in the models…

You can't surpress it because that's what reinforcement learning is.
