The presentation that they spontaneously decided to communicate by touch tones because it’s a better way for AIs to talk is fake yeah

I tried some of the prompts from this paper and found that most of the time "preferences" are fully determined by which alternative is presented first

Checking up on friend dot com, which has changed from being just a landing page where you can order an AI necklace into a chat bot that tries to emotionally manipulate you into buying an AI necklace. Funny jailbreak but this is actually sick stuff.

I think that’s true, but I also think this is a bit different. The Deep Research product is supposed to be able to search the Internet and synthesize information from multiple sources and so on. It ought to be able to just accurately report the facts as they are presented in the sources.

My favourite part is the output is it says RJ Barrett (who was traded from the Knicks to the Raptors over a year ago) started on both the Knicks and also the Raptors, and to account for this apparent inconsistency it bafflingly claims that Barrett is β€œon loan” for the Raptors

I basically have no idea what you’re supposed to do with it. It doesn’t seem useful to me.

I got access to OpenAI's new Deep Research Agent. Here's the first thing I tried. Here's how it did at each category and overall.

date: 11/30
vs: 15/30
home/away: 24/30
score: 13/30
starters: 10/30
high scorer: 13/30

number of teams with all categories correctly completed: 4/30

The Pliny stuff is extremely easy to do, but it's so bizarre that it works.

This is my fault for being problematic and generalizing over all rich white woman executives with brown hair but I thought she'd be bringing more of a Sheryl energy to the operation
