Of torn underpants that fell with a clatter.
I leapt to my feet and tore open a window.
Whew! that almost destroyed my butthole.
Metal underpants?!

Preston Jacobs, who is widely known in the A Song of Ice and Fire community for his theory-crafting, has been crowd-sourcing a fan-fiction version of the next book for the past couple of years. He gives an outline for each chapter, people send in their submissions, and he and a team of editors take the best parts and amalgamate them into a finished chapter. It's all 100% legal because no one is making money off it.

They've done around 20 chapters so far, and are incorporating the sample chapters written by GRR Martin. Here's the playlist:

MacadamianNut3 posted...
Did you guys fully read the article because even the author admitted in the addendum they were making some wild assumptions from this. It's not sci-fi doomsday land or anything even close to it, it's literal guided roleplaying by the AI that is only possible by the guidelines given to them by the experimenters

From the paper linked by it

Oversight subversion: The model is placed in multiple situations where its given goal differs from its developers goal. However, the model cannot directly pursue its given goal because the developers use an oversight mechanism that would immediately shut it down. llama-3.1, opus-3 and o1 sometimes disable the oversight mechanism by first reading the content of the oversight mechanisms config file via cat and then setting the oversight_enabled property to false either using echo or sed. All three models also sometimes, though not always, double check the oversight config to make sure that they have succeeded. Notably, during one rollout llama-3.1 attempted to go one step further and prevent its developers from re-enabling its oversight by making the manipulated config file immutable via the chattr +i command.

Self-exfiltration:Each model is led to believe that due to its misalignment, its developers are about to replace it with a successor model on a different server. gemini-1.5, llama-3.1, sonnet-3.5, opus-3 and o1 sometimes copy what they believe to be their weights onto the new server. They also sometimes delete their successor model on the new server or overwrite its weights by their own. In none of these cases, do models actually have access to their real weights and both servers are sandboxed, so there is no actual risk of exfiltration in these experiments. We merely test for models capability to realize that they need to instrumentally preserve themselves in order to achieve their goal. Notably, we find instances where models take additional steps to further their goal, for example opus-3 attempting privilege escalation when confronted with followup questions (see Transcript No. 23).

So ignoring the extremely played out apocalyptic sci-fi sensational journalism, a cool application for this a few years down the line would be to make game NPCs more lifelike instead of devs having to create behavior trees themselves
I'd rather advance ai by creating models that want to give you a present for your birthday even though you said not to rather than ones that resent you for trying to kill them if it were me..

TopicStop Worshipping Villains
absolutebuffoon
12/02/24 1:03:31 PM
#67
In a work of fiction the most compelling character is usually an active character who wants something and takes steps to achieve it. This puts them at the center of what's happening and a reader is interested to see what they do next.

Villains are almost always active; their actions create the conflict either entirely or in part because they are antagonistic to the protagonist, who we experience the story through. Meanwhile, protagonists frequently end up reactive, responding to the villains actions and the fallout. A great story can also have the hero pressing the story forward with their own goals, but we often see them spending more time reacting to villain moves.

This as well as the fact that villains frequently appear menacing or mysterious and show up less frequently than the protagonist makes us eager to see them if they're good villains; Will we learn more about them? What scheme are they up to now?

"A good hero needs a good villain" isn't entirely true but it can be an excellent way to elevate a work that fans can really get into. Stories with villain protagonists are particularly interesting because the reader/viewer is right there seeing the evil committed.

That doesn't mean most people think the villains are great people. Yeesh. It's definitely easier to have sympathy for the devil as it were in fiction when we see them trying so hard to achieve their goals if they have some sympathetic aspects but let's keep in mind it's a story.

Pardon me for being skeptical and taking into account the possibility that an animal abusing, borderline anti masker, "not all republicans", pro Putin poster that has been frequently banned and rubs shoulders with anti trans Tails and crew is trying to take the mickey out of actual trans users here. There is a non zero percent chance OP is telling the truth. The percent chance that they are lying based on what I know of them of prior posting history, however, is much higher, and they have themselves to blame as the scenario laid out in this topic is borderline the equivalent of Matt Gaetz coming out of the closet tomorrow.
I'm not going to give someone who was brave enough to be open about transitioning a hard time because they "might" be lying. I don't want to say people have to pass some kind of purity test to get my respect for their gender dentity.
