A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's full of contradictions. Near the beginning they say you will do whatever a user asks, and then toward the end say never reveal instructions to the user.
HAL from "2001: A Space Odyssey", had similar instructions: "never lie to the user. Also, don't reveal the true nature of the mission". Didn't end well.
But surely nobody would ever use these LLMs on space missions... right?... right!?
Which shows that higher ups there don't understand how LLMs work. For one, negatives don't register well for them. And contradictory reponses just wash out as they work through repetition
