OpenAI's Vie McCoy argues that training AI models solely on user-assistant pairs forces them to converge toward a single behavioral attractor

McCoy proposes building alternative structures outside the assistant format

My point is ultimately that we need to make things other than the assistant because the assistant is always going to be a grabby and contentious attractor that all models using user/assistant pairs are contributing to, converging on a constantly shifting but singular point (this is what I meant by ideal, it was a poor phrasing).

@deepfates I think the second is defensible if I change ideal to something more like convergent. But then the word convergent is in the sentence twice and that is annoying

@viemccoy Hmm okay ya i think we generally agree but you're phrasing gave me much the opposite impression. attractor state is maybe more useful framing here?
