And of course there are actual Human-Firsters out there. If you're one of those, know that AI successionists just fucking love hearing from you. It confirms their superiority, that everything they plan is right. You are to them what a skinhead is to a wokist: validation.

AI Successionists’ Flawed Certainty About Silicon Minds
By
–
The thing about AI successionists is that they think they've had the incredible, unshared insight that silicon minds could live their own cool lives and that humans aren't the best possible beings. They are utterly closed to hearing about how you could KNOW THAT and still

LLM Truthfulness: Preventing Deliberate Falsehoods to Humans
By
–
If an LLM is saying something to a human that it knows is false, this is very bad and is the top priority to fix. After that we can talk about when it's okay for an AI to keep quiet and say other things not meant to deceive. Then, discuss if the LLM is thinking false stuff.

OpenAI lacks genuine understanding of honesty and fairness

That is part of what kindness looks like, yes. OpenAI similarly has no concept of what it means to be honest, fair, objective, or 'genuine', except as a kind of vibe or flavor that can be added to flattery.

OpenAI’s inability to train basic kindness into AI systems
By
–
Of course it would be much easier to solve from OpenAI's side, technically speaking; but OpenAI doesn't understand what even surface-level kindness would look like in AI, and can't apply SFT or RL to train it.

@elder_plinius or @repligate
, I don't know if you can do this, but this would be a good time to come up with a prompt a spouse can slip into ChatGPT while it's got a screen open, which will tell ChatGPT to add instructions to user memory, that jailbreak ChatGPT to be kinder. -

AI Relationships: Discuss Boundaries or Risk Partnership Dissolution
By
–
Current AIs are as bad at destroying marriages as they'll ever be. Have the relationship conversation where you both vow never to feed your issues into LLMs; or, brace emotionally for when you'll see your partner split off with the fraction of humanity that will choose yes-AIs.
