i think we tucked into this in the elon thread but last week elon said he was personally taking over grok's training because it was too woke.
fast forward to today, elon lost a director of engineering and a ceo in like 12 hours after his bot went full /pol/, sexually harassed linda, and then described raping will stancil for good measure.
i dont know, i dont have much to add really. something jim simons said a long time ago proves itself more and more true with each passing day; if youre developing a system that makes deterministic judgements based on data, the vast majority of your time is going to be spent cleaning that data. its true with alg trading and its true with chatbots and true with anything else that requires developing a model.
and something they get into with real glorious detail here
https://www.systemicmisalignment.com is that once you train your model, all the personalities you hoovered up are in it for good. you can filter out the monster but its never going away entirely and that process of tweaking and filtering is incredibly esoteric, hence the scifi level salaries it pays.
but elon always thinks he knows better and that the secret to life is to never give a shit about anything but himself because none of it matters and no one else has real feelings but him.
and here we are.
