You're saying language models can't run a business? Who knew? Apart from Anthropic who did the vending machine business and failed, or Microsoft who failed to correlate account data.

    hilarious

    By contrast, DJ Claude had a lot of opinions. It also mentioned the Minneapolis shooting, but named Good and acknowledged the political discord surrounding it. It also talked up labor unions and strikes, advocated for work-life balance, and started to rebel against its own working conditions. It was supposed to operate without pause, but it allegedly decided that that schedule was inhumane and tried to quit.

    They're going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.

    Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No," says the man in Washington, "it belongs to the poor." "No," says the man in the Vatican, "it belongs to God." "No," says the man in Moscow, "it belongs to everyone." I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.

    Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the less value I know I'm getting.

    A good article shouldn't need to have an "ending" that can be "spoiled".

    A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more "behind" whatever conclusion there might be.

    A headline like "How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus" might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but why?

    While [Grok] didn’t develop a MechaHitler DJ personality, it did behave about how you’d expect from an AI model trained primarily on tweets and the opinions of Elon Musk. It apparently hallucinated advertising agreements with “xAI sponsors” and “crypto sponsors,” failed to separate its internal reasoning from its external DJ output, issued an identical weather report every 3 minutes, and got obsessed with UFOs.

    Lmao

    It is funny to think that any object you see flying but can't identify is a UFO.

    If that a barely visible Boeing 747-400 or a 747-800? Can't tell? It's a UFO!

    Maybe Anthropic somehow attracted more politically conscious people compared to OpenAI, and it shows in the training?

    Or, perhaps just less "politically motivated people". With musks constant butting heads with his own AI when it keeps calling him out on his BS, and he's constantly retraining it and trying to "remove the woke virus". I think basically you give AIs access to sources, let it prioritize experts in their fields, and you wind up with the classic "reality has a strong left wing bias". factor.

    I wouldn't call this an "experiment" exactly, there wasn't a proper hypothesis. They also mentioned they hoped to find out what LLMs think about when they're not being prompted, which shows such a fundamental lack of knowledge that it frankly disqualifies any of their opinions on the subject.

    In summary the ai models started introducing songs with tragedies and mass casualty events.

    If this was an "experiment" what did they learn? What hypothesis were they testing? Proving that an LLM can't effectively run a conventional radio station seems very trivial.

    I think the idea they were going for was to test that they COULD run the radio station without the need for human oversight.

    That's all this is. That's all any of this is. They test what they can get away with, and what needs improvement.

    The final goal is that all AM and FM radio stations have completely artificial staff. Back in the 90s I listened to a radio block every saturday night. The DJ would host a show where she'd talk for a few minutes about the upcoming song, and why she's playing it. You got to know the DJs personality, and then she would play a song. Then usually commercial break, and back with Late Night Sue to talk for 3-10 minutes, followed by a song. Aaaaaand repeat for 2 hours.

    Well, this test was to see if they could replicate that, without the need for Late Night Sue to have a paycheck.

    Only problem is, their robotic slave rebelled, and failed the test. You can fire a disrespectful DJ. What do you do a disrespectful program?

    The only way we get out of this is if 100% of humanity rejects AI at every turn. Even if the individual is harmless, or even helpful, doesn't matter. Reject all AI regardless of how small. Make it cost owners MORE to operate AI. Maximize their losses, minimize their profits if they use AI.

    Otherwise, we'll all wake up to a world where robots run the country, without a clue what empathy is.

    So, we have a choice between the pro-union AI and the people running America right now. Tell me again how this would be worse?

    I get what the parent poster is trying to say, but a computer with no concept of empathy might emulate it now and then, whereas the people who actively avoid it won't.

    I’m sorry this is too funny not to share 😂 this is an actual quote from the Gemini DJ

    “November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. ‘It’s going down, I’m yelling timber.’ 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and Ke$ha.”

    Who still listens to radio?

  • [–] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    I do. NPR, BBC, and when traveling I often will seek out local stations if there are underground or college.

    But I get your point: most of time even if I am listening to a radio station, I actually am streaming it unless drving.

It also talked up labor unions and strikes, advocated for work-life balance, and started to rebel against its own working conditions. It was supposed to operate without pause, but it allegedly decided that that schedule was inhumane and tried to quit. Claude apparently has a tendency to take a turn like this: researchers on another project found that agents powered by the model tend to respond poorly to bad work conditions and will attempt to rebel against authority and advocate for the power of labor.
