Codex still does this regularly, in my experience: “two tests mistakenly asserted [insert condition here], I have corrected them.” It always apologizes when caught, of course.
You can claim you’re acting honestly all day long but you still have a CEO with a long-standing reputation for lying.
Ok, but this doesn’t scale well. It takes a nontrivial amount of time to evaluate each person, and it would have to be done repeatedly as they age. You would need an entire government bureaucracy devoted to it. Then…
The whole purpose of law is to be a uniform system of justice. At best it could offer guidelines for how to evaluate people: perhaps level of education attained, demonstrated ability to take responsibility for…
It’s hard to give the misunderstanding/coincidence claim credence when Altman explicitly referenced Her in relation to the feature.
If a law is going to treat 5 year olds differently from 50 year olds then a line has to be drawn somewhere. 18 is arbitrary, but no more arbitrary than any other age you could pick.
It's almost been 15 years since the Snowden leaks, and there were rumors going around before that. I don't think it would have been that outlandish.
> I've heard some people say the model's solution is quite different from theirs (but I have no clue how to personally assess the spiritual truth of this, so please give it zero weight) Why would you include a statement…
I hardly think it’s fair to label an objection so old that Turing included it (and discussed it at length) in the list of objections to thinking machines in 1950 “moving the goalposts.” > These arguments take the form,…
Even better, from the BMJ christmas edition https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7102 > Around 0.5% of women consistently affirmed their status as virgins and did not use assisted reproductive technology, yet reported…
> it clearly is just technology debt they've been carrying around from a silly decision over a decade ago Almost three decades ago—development started in 1999 and the game was released in 2003.
The mandatory policy was part of the codebase that the agent was working on. The agent didn’t feel like figuring out how to make the new feature it was working on respect that policy, so it just changed the policy.
My ex-Catholic's friend's mother refused to speak to him until his first child was born, at which point the draw of a grandchild overcame her aversion I guess. They've (mostly) reconciled now.
Today Codex decided that it could resolve the blocker by just changing the mandatory policy it was running up against into an “advisory policy.”
People I know personally were strongly ostracized after leaving Jehovah's Witnesses (in the US) and the Catholic church (in Latin America). Cut out of their existing social circles, immediate family members refusing to…

Sam Altman: “GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert.” Elon Musk on Grok: “better than PhD level in everything.”

If you haven't tried a creatine supplement, I'd suggest trying it. 5g/day makes a huge difference for me in workout recovery.
Agreed. The concept of “don’t reuse your old work when you’re supposed to be creating new work” may be valid, especially in training environments, but it shouldn’t be called self-plagiarism or treated like plagiarism.
Perhaps an easier to intuit version of it is how full airliners are. An airline might report that their flights are on average 60% full, and that might be completely absolutely 100% true. But that's not what passengers…
I have similar feelings about TV shows. There are shows that I wish hadn’t ended after a couple of seasons, but there are also a ton of shows that dragged on for 6, 8, 15 seasons when it clearly would have been better…
Make sure to remind it to make no mistakes.
An LLM trained only on true statements will still hallucinate.
