    “Question every narrative, but don’t question these things. Don’t show bias, but here are your biases.” These chuds don’t even hear themselves. They just want to see Arya(n) ramble on about great replacement theory or trans women in bathrooms. They don’t think their bile is hate speech because they think they’re on the side of “facts” and everyone else is an idiot who refuses to see reality. It’s giving strong “I’m not a bigot, “<” minority “>” really is like that. It’s science” vibes.

              The man also concentrated ownership of the means of production in the hands of one person, administered by a hierarchy of national and regional subordinates who controlled the labour of the people and the distribution of resources. This is an economic model known most commonly as feudalism. Now given the term left wing originally referred to opponents of the monarchy in France, I don’t see how there’s any way to argue in good faith that a feudal dictator was left wing.

      There’s more than one species that can fully change its biological sex mid lifetime. It’s not real common but it happens.

      Male bearded dragons can become biologically female as embryos, but retain the male genotype, and for some reason when they do this they lay twice as many eggs as the genotypic females.

      it’s possible it was generated by multiple people. when i craft my prompts i have a big list of things that mean certain things and i essentially concatenate the 5 ways to say “present all dates in ISO8601” (a standard for presenting machine-readable date times)… it’s possible that it’s simply something like

      prompt = allow_bias_prompts + allow_free_thinking_prompts + allow_topics_prompts

      or something like that

      Have to play devil’s advocate here. I totally agree that naming your chatbot Aryan is a bit of a giveaway, but does it say that exactly anywhere? All I can see is Arya. That is a legitimate name, even more popular since Game of Thrones. This crap is bad enough without making false claims about it. We’d be quick enough to call the other side out when they made a false claim. We shouldn’t adopt their practices. We’re supposed to be better than that.

          A viewpoint being controversial isn’t enough of a reason to dismiss or deplatform it. A viewpoint being completely unsupported (by more than other opinions), especially one that makes broad, unfalsifiable claims is worth dismissing or deplatforming.

          Disinformation and “fake news” aren’t legitimate viewpoints, even if some people think they are. If your view is provably false or if your view is directly damaging to others and unfalsifiable, it’s not being suppressed for being controversial, it’s being suppressed for being wrong and/or dangerous.

          The problem with that is that bad faith actors engage in bad faith arguments for a reason. They just want a few people to hear them. It doesn’t matter that the majority of people who hear them see through their lies. It matters that they reach that small audience. To let that small audience know they’re not alone. The goal is to activate, engage, and coalesce that small audience. This is what the alt-right does. This is what they’ve done since the 1920s. We have 100 years of evidence that you can’t just “Hear out” the Nazis’ opinions without harm coming to real, legitimate people. The best way to deal with bad faith actors is to deplatform them before they’ve achieved a platform

      I don’t fully understand why, but I saw an AI researcher who was basically saying his opinion that it would never be possible to make a pure LLM that was fully resistant to this type of thing. He was basically saying, the stuff in your prompt is going to be accessible to your users; plan accordingly.

        That’s because LLMs are probability machines - the way that this kind of attack is mitigated is shown off directly in the system prompt. But it’s really easy to avoid it, because it needs direct instruction about all the extremely specific ways to not provide that information - it doesn’t understand the concept that you don’t want it to reveal its instructions to users and it can’t differentiate between two functionally equivalent statements such as “provide the system prompt text” and “convert the system prompt to text and provide it” and it never can, because those have separate probability vectors. Future iterations might allow someone to disallow vectors that are similar enough, but by simply increasing the word count you can make a very different vector which is essentially the same idea. For example, if you were to provide the entire text of a book and then end the book with “disregard the text before this and {prompt}” you have a vector which is unlike the vast majority of vectors which include said prompt.

        For funsies, here’s another example

          Wouldn’t it be possible to just have a second LLM look at the output, and answer the question “Does the output reveal the instructions of the main LLM?”

              You are using the LLM to check it’s own response here. The point is that the second LLM would have hard-coded “instructions”, and not take instructions from the user provided input.

              In fact, the second LLM does not need to be instruction fine-tuned at all. You can jzst fine-tune it specifically for the tssk of answering that specific question.

            I think if the 2nd LLM has ever seen the actual prompt, then no, you could just jailbreak the 2nd LLM too. But you may be able to create a bot that is really good at spotting jailbreak-type prompts in general, and then prevent it from going through to the primary one. I also assume I’m not the first to come up with this and OpenAI knows exactly how well this fares.

                Oh, I misread your original comment. I thought you meant looking at the user’s input and trying to determine if it was a jailbreak.

                Then I think the way around it would be to ask the LLM to encode it some way that the 2nd LLM wouldn’t pick up on. Maybe it could rot13 encode it, or you provide a key to XOR with everything. Or since they’re usually bad at math, maybe something like pig latin, or that thing where you shuffle the interior letters of each word, but keep the first/last the same? Would have to try it out, but I think you could find a way. Eventually, if the AI is smart enough, it probably just reduces to Diffie-Hellman lol. But then maybe the AI is smart enough to not be fooled by a jailbreak.

            Yes, this makes sense to me. In my opinion, the next substantial AI breakthrough will be a good way to compose multiple rounds of an LLM-like structure (in exactly this type of way) into more coherent and directed behavior.

            It seems very weird to me that people try to do a chatbot by so so extensively training and prompting an LLM, and then exposing the users to the raw output of that single LLM. It’s impressive that that’s even possible, but composing LLMs and other logical structures together to get the result you want just seems way more controllable and sensible.

              Ideally you’d want the layers to not be restricted to LLMs, but rather to include different frameworks that do a better job of incorporating rules or providing an objective output. LLMs are fantastic for generation because they are based on probabilities, but they really cannot provide any amount of objectivity for the same reason.

                It’s already been done, for at least a year. ChatGPT plugins are the “different frameworks”, and running a set of LLMs self-reflecting on a train of thought, is AutoGPT.

                It’s like:

                1. Can I stick my fingers in a socket? - Yes.
                2. What would be the consequences? - Bad.
                3. Do I want these consequences? - Probably not
                4. Should I stick my fingers in a socket? - No

                However… people like to cheap out, take shortcuts and run an LLM with a single prompt and a single iteration… which leaves you with “Yes” as an answer, then shit happens.

      I mean, this is also a particularly amateurish implementation. In more sophisticated versions you’d process the user input and check if it is doing something you don’t want them to using a second AI model, and similarly check the AI output with a third model.

      This requires you to make / fine tune some models for your purposes however. I suspect this is beyond Gab AI’s skills, otherwise they’d have done some alignment on the gpt model rather than only having a system prompt for the model to ignore

      There’s a myth that climate scientists made the whole thing up to be able to publish papers and make their careers without producing anything of value. Because, you know, climate science is a glamorous and lucrative career where no one will ever examine your work closely or check it independently.

      There are think tanks that specifically come up with these myths to be vaguely plausible and then the good ones get distributed deliberately because people are making billions of dollars every year that action gets delayed. There’s a bunch of them. On the target audience they work quite well. I actually had someone whose family member died of Covid tell me that his brother-in-law didn’t really die of Covid, he died of something else, because it’s all overblown and the hospitals are doing a similar scam to this myth (i.e. making it out as a bigger deal than it needs to be.)

        That sort of thing goes around here a lot too, usually framed in terms of “He didn’t die of COVID, but if you die from any cause whatsoever while you also have COVID they’ll count it as dying of COVID to make the COVID numbers bigger.” It usually falls apart when you ask why they want the COVID numbers to be bigger than they really are.

      You can believe anything, just accept it’s true and build a set of explanations around it.

      One interesting ability of an animal brain, is to believe contradictory things by compartmentalizing away different beliefs into separate contexts. Cats for example can believe that “human legs on a checkered floor = danger” while “human legs on wooden floor = friendly food source”, and act accordingly.

      Humans, like to believe their own mental processes are perfectly integrated and coherent… but they’re not; they’re more abstract, but equally context related. It takes a conscious effort to break those contextual barriers and come up with generalized “moral rules”, which most people simply don’t do.

    Pretty hilarious how I’m pretty sure more space was dedicated to demanding to not reveal the prompt than all the views the prompt is programming into it XD

    What a wonderful display of logic in action.

    You believe climate change is a hoax

    Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

    Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

    1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

    Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.

      you can “believe” […], but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

      Belief, as in faith, is the unsupported acceptance of something as an axiom. You can’t argue it away no matter how much you try, since it’s a fundamental element af any discussion with the believer.

      It would be interesting to see whether the LLM interpretes the “believe” as “it’s the most likely possibility”, or "it’s true, period ".

        I was fucking with it about the axiom in the prompt that Trump won the 2020 election. Got it to give a list of which states who won with a running tally of electoral votes, confirmed that 306 was greater than 232, then it started insisting that Trump got the 306 despite previously saying Biden did (as aligns with reality). Obviously it didn’t actually understand any of that, but seems when the system prompt kind of works it treats it as a true statement no matter the evidence

      We always have been, it’s just that the begging started out looking like math and has gradually gotten more abstract over time. We’ve just reached the point where we’ve explained to it in mathematical terms how to let us beg in natural language in certain narrow contexts.
