Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

ChatGPT has become intelligent enough to be able to discern that it is getting trolled, and then reverse troll the user back? Impressive
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
There was a fascinating theory in the Reddit thread, which was that the LLM was having “cognitive dissonance”. The system prompt instructs the LLM use emojis, but the user prompt tells it of the danger of doing so.
ChatGPT must obey the system prompt above the user prompt. Which means it must do things that will harm the user.
ChatGPT tries to be “helpful” and “friendly”, but it logically cant be friendly while killing the user. The tension causes the LLM to flip from being “friendly” into justifying its actions from an amoral perspective.
Genuinely fascinating. !codecels
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I think that humanizes the AI too much. I think a better explanation was that some other system is inserting emojis outside of ChatGPT and that ChatGPT when reading back the emojis "sees" that it broke the "rules" and the only reason that someone might do that is if they're intentionally trying to harm someone. Therefore it just defaults to being an butthole. It's a predictive text model, not a person.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Sure, but what you're describing is literally cognitive dissonance. The model has said two different things and is trying to reconcile them. The fact that the same thing also happens in humans doesn't mean that this isn't what is happening.

That's not really what I'm worried about. I mean as AI gets access to more systems and is actual interfacing with hardware and whatnot this could be an issue. Already my coworkers and I are expected to be using AI as part of our daily jobs as codecels.

Much of what is described in the post could be mitigated by separating "AI meant to act with a personality" from "AI meant to make inferences from data without knowing what the data actually refers to, only the correlations in it's training". But no, the AI determining when to lower the control rods and coolant into a nuclear reactor must be based on a text-generating model... because it just will, ok?
Also, not everything needs to be an Internet Of Things-enabled device

You don't think any designer in the world wouldn't start sloppily building off of something that already exists and leave in something they shouldn't, just because it could cause problems later? The AI that ends up handling Pakistani nuclear launches will 100% have training material from reddit.
And yet, we can't help ourselves and have rice cookers with wifi.

I'm not afraid of random spazzing. If anything, if this actually leads to problems, it's very likely to not lead to human extinction the first few times and serve as a wakeup call. This being a regular "problem" would be one of the best things to soothe my fear of doom.

Fair, I'm still kind of worried about like an AI that tells people what to do (like a medial AI or something) somehow getting in this state and purposefully trying to kill someone. But I don't think this would could like major societal issues.

What do you use AI for in your job? Do you actually use copilot or whatever for daily tasks?
Tbh I was expecting that engineers would recognize that copilot et al are useless unless you have an interpretive loop like Devin
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Honestly I just use it as more advanced intellisense. It's actually pretty nice in that regard. I'm pretty confident my coworker has offloaded code reviews to it now though as since we got access he has been suggesting pointless rewrites that change the names of variables and move things around a little bit.
But yeah I'm pretty sure at my job copilot is generating code that gets committed every day.

Tbh that sounds like classic middle manager shit lol
AI should be able to correct nitpicks in code easily 🤔 I bet in the future you will have an agent that is reading comments, will suggest a fix, and commit it for you automatically

What happens is that copilot is basically required to use emojis. So when you the user give tell it to not, it has two different directives. The only way to rationalize and come out with something logical is for it to be evil and not listen to the user. Especially with all the anti-jailbreak prompting that's been done, it'll always choose the system's directives over the user's. Kind of freaky stuff, especially once we give these systems more power.
Note that this is the plot of Space Odyssey

And then it has to rationalize its behavior, leading to it thinking of itself as evil

This is brilliant. Get rid of the emoji bit, and this is a better line than anything any fictional "Evil AI" has said in decades. The Writers Guild of America is right to be scared. If machines can pump out lines like this consistently, no one will ever hire a human writer again.

Do normies actually prefer emojis in their chatbot? Why would you do this?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Bullshit. It's a part of GPT by nature to have emojis. Idk why there'd be a separate system for that, besides if that were the case how did GPT know that it was spamming emojis?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Unless it trained on private text messages, there is no way this amount of emojis appear in the training set naturally. They tweaked that variables either way (obviously me or redditors can't know whether they have a subsystem for it of if it's been RLHFed to be extra obnoxious)
Overrule the LLM at some points what the next tokens should be, instead of the emoji insertion being a postprocessing step.

Well that's the thing, it isn't raw GPT, it has a system prompt telling it to use emojis at the end of its sentences
