Especially tricky if they did distill from ChatGPT as seems to be the consensus

I think it was mostly system prompt tuning? I did look into a while ago, my information might be out of date, but I think it’d be hard to feed an LLM a fully sanitized version of the world

Seems like it. You get a commissar spin about the Uyghurs but it won’t discuss Tienanmen Square at all

you seem to be able to get away with it if it's really targeted, like DeepSeek's Tienanmen Square refusals, but you can't shift the whole worldview and expect coherency.

It’s going to be very funny to see grok’s coding scores tank after he lobotomises it.

Scoped vs unscoped keeps paying off in unexpected places like nursery-based structured concurrency

Fair. I had to laugh a bit at this www.cato.org/blog/seven-c... - how often does the Cato Institute have to tell a sitting Republican president he doesn’t understand basic economics?

More that I had some implicit idea of how much complexity, cleverness, moving pieces would be required to get the results we are seeing, and I was just wrong - scaling the obvious thing and adding the obvious buffs like chain of thought seems to have worked way better than expected

I think a lot of people still have their heads in the sand, telling themselves stories about how counting the number of rs in words is a meaningful datapoint.

ah - and some numbers are going to be split points more often than others. yeah, that's annoying.
