a cursory Google search reveals that they deny anthropogenic climate change, reject the idea of women in the workplace, and wish to deny marriage rights to homosexuals
They are conservative and have a few idiots and extremist people in their ranks yes, but that doesn't make the party as a whole extremist.
I never heard about their women-workspace-denial.
And being against marriage of homosexuals was the majority opinion from the beginning of time until around 10 years ago so you can hardly count that as extremist.
With data starvation driving ai companies towards synthetic data I’m surprised that an easily synthesized problem like this hasn’t been trained out of relevance. Yet here we are with proof that it hasn’t
Are we a hundred percent sure it isn't a watermark that is by design?
A quick test anyone can run and say, yup, that is a model XYZ derivative running under the hood.
Because, as you quite rightly point out, it is trivial to train the model not to have this behaviour. For me, that is when Occam kicks in.
I remember initially believing the explanation for the Strawberry problem, but one day I sat down and thought about it, and realized it made absolutely zero sense.
The explanation that Karpathy was popularizing was that it has to do with tokenization.
However, models are not conscious of tokens, and they certainly don't have any ability to count them without tool help.
Additionally, if it were a tokenization issue, we would expect to spot the issue everywhere.
So yeah, I'm thinking it's a model tag or insignia of some kind, similar to the fun logos you find when examining many silicon integrated circuits under a microscope.
Business plan, revenue, people: these are all valid signals to form an investment hypothesis. People often outweighs all others wrt early stage companies.
You would have been a fool to invest in apple in the late 90s on any other signal than the return of Steve Jobs. That era created many rich fools.
They used examples where almost every reasonable American knows what the right and wrong side of history ended up being. He doesn’t need to teach us with detailed policy that slavers ended up on the wrong side of history — we all know.
> The right wing sees second order effects and acts on them.
It’s hard to take this one at good faith. The right wing is very publicly melting down the CDC for glue while the second order effects of a preventable measles epidemic spreads through the country. Is there a more targeted claim you want to make?
The right wing had a big problem with the role the CDC played in the authoritarianism of the COVID era. Now they're melting down a weapon of that authoritarianism. What's more important, preserving civil rights by preventing authoritarianism, or a single epidemic? Gotta think long term here.
I suspect that you merely dislike the authoritarian things the government is currently doing; I dislike that the government is authoritarian. We are not the same.
US constitution thoughtfully disagrees with you, elevating presence on the land at birth over bloodline wrt citizenship.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” -US Constitution, 14th Amendment
Quite literally, US hospitals do have that magic pixie dust because they are on the land of this country.
Its not a coincidence that Switzerland is the longest-lasting democracy in the world by a factor of 4x, vs USA. Their framers had the foresight to enshrine their communities' common history, values, and culture.... over pixie dust.
If you’re contending that he let go of power peacefully the first time then I have some Jan 6 assault conviction to show you. Let’s not forget that he threw a mob at Congress to prevent certifying his opponent’s win.
USA had two military alliances of central importance, one with Germany, one with Japan.
The first is to keep Russia in check, the second China.
The rumours of a carve-up, spheres of influence, begin to resonate.
Problem is, you cannot run a country as if it were a business, because to do is to value influence and power above freedom, human dignity, and human suffering.
Japan’s constitution and postwar treaties with the United States constrain their ability to rearm and use military force. Those need to be amended and renegotiated in order for Japan to be an effective ally in the Asia-Pacific region. Japan’s been asking for a change in the status quo for years. Trump is signaling not only a willingness to encourage Japanese rearmament, but a willingness to sell it to the American people in terms of their own interests.
And frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if the same weren’t true of Europe as well. Ever since at least the Obama administration, the US has been begging Europe to increase their defense spending. Aside from Poland, none of them have done so. That might be changing now. Europe didn’t rearm when Obama (whom you actually liked) asked nicely. Getting to sneer at Trump and the United States is a much more effective permission structure. And then the next time we elect a Democrat, Western Europe will give him a Nobel peace prize and pretend the whole thing never happened, just like the last time.
