I think this was a great idea somebody here had, like, it'd be nice to write out what the desired behavior of a model is, make that public, take input on it, say, you know, here's how this model is supposed to behave and explain the edge cases too.

And then when a model is not behaving in a way that you want, it's at least clear about whether that's a bug the company should fix or behaving as intended and you should debate the policy. And right now it can sometimes be caught.

in between like black nazis obviously ridiculous but there are a lot of other kind of subtle things that you could make a judgment call on either way yeah but sometimes if you write it out and make it public you can use kind of language that's you know the google's ad principles are very high level that doesn't that's not what i'm talking about that doesn't work like i have to say you know when you ask it to do thing x it's supposed to respond in way y

Yeah, I'm open to a lot of ways a model could behave them, but I think you should have to say, you know, here's the principle and here's what I should say in that case.

I feel very lucky that we don't have the challenges at OpenAI that I have heard of at a lot of other companies. I think part of it is like... Every company's got some ideological thing. We have one about AGI and belief in that, and it pushes out some others. We are much less caught up in the culture war than I've heard about at a lot of other companies.
