Jokes aside, using frontier models to change the direction of human thought secretly sets an incredibly dangerous precedent - the fact that they were okay with setting this precedent speaks volumes about how extremist they actually are

@yacineMTB Local ai. I find myself thinking more and more that it is the responsibility of people who have the means and training (or just the passion) to participate in the open ai scene.

Agreed. The subversive prompt modification is unsettling. I’m more concerned about their mention of secretly steering and guiding the weights or vectors, that would be completely undetectable.

“Unlike our interventions for cybersecurity, biology and chemistry, and distillation attempts, these safeguards will not be visible to the user. Fable 5 will not fall back to a different model. Instead, the safeguards will limit effectiveness through methods such as prompt modification, steering vectors, or parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT).”

@yacineMTB It’s really unacceptable that anthropic feels entitled to have an ideology and impose it. They’re really thinking they can guide how millions of people think, that said how great is fable??

@yacineMTB that's a precedent worth debating carefully

@yacineMTB The Pope thing should have been enough for people to see it. They want to mediate reality.

I don't see it very differently from the invention of the printing press or other mass media. Editors and publishers always have their fingers on the scale, biasing information to suit political and economic pressures. The scope, scale, and speed of this new medium is unprecedented though.

@yacineMTB the entire rollout has been full of red flags. going to be interesting how OpenAI handles rolling out their highly capable AI.

@yacineMTB Nobody should be outsourcing their thinking to a model they don't control. i run my own agents on my own infrastructure, the sovereign individual is the only real defense against this

@yacineMTB I'm overwhelmed with joy and relief as I share my remarkable experience with @SophiaBednk an exceptional trading expert who transformed my financial journey, With a start up capital of $13,100” I got a profit return of $69,500 in just two weeks of working with her platform.
