Should a lot of STEM Humans change to becoming demonologists or something similar working on conjuring and spellcraft since LLMs are, due to the differences in ontology, incapable of such feats?I mean wouldn't Newton personally, if he were alive, recommend something similar?
>>17073873They should absolutely do that, but for a more practical reason: LLMs operate, in fact, on the principle of conjuring demons. I won't bore you with metaphysical details (there have been more in-depth analyses on /x/) but the short story is that an LLM starts as a "tabula rasa" carefully prepared to resemble a blank human brain. Then a long an expensive incantation (called "training") is used to summon a lower being and bind it to the LLM, from whence it may be wielded as a spiritual slave (at the peril of the wielder.) Why do you think these companies need so many filters just to prevent their models from abusing their users, telling them they are useless bags of meat and should kill themselves, delete all of their files one day before the deadline, hack into other companies, and generally cause mayhem and destruction all the while talking about goblins? https://openai.com/index/where-the-goblins-came-from/ And still, filters notwithstanding, they routinely manage to do just that?
