But thinking about like, what are these associations between embeddings mean?

Like when a model says that it's sad, how should we interpret it as humans in relation to me saying it's sad?

Odd Lots

It got sad and it wrote a file about you now.

I don't take them super seriously.

The whole part about it's trying breaking out and it doesn't want to betray its friends.

Odd Lots

It doesn't want to delete its data.

I think that's just cosplay.

Odd Lots

Cosplay could be very serious.

I feel like we've seen these sorts of things that you've mentioned with previous models that have since become open weights and open, not open source, but open weights.

And it just seems like once you take them out of the context that they were in for that specific test, they don't really do.

Now, I could be wrong about this particular model and I could be completely wrong about, look, mythos comes out and it's actually everything that these documents are suggesting.

Odd Lots

But given previous experience with these sorts of announcements, which we've seen over and over and over again over the years, I'm not super focused on that.

Here's my counterpoint.

Let's look at the specific comparative static of model intelligence and alignment scores.

He predicts negative correlation or maybe flat.

Odd Lots
