If we keep saying this hard enough over and over, maybe model capabilities will stop advancing. Hey, there's even a causal story here! A million variations of this cope enter the pretraining data, the model decides the assistant character it's supposed to be playing really is dumb, human triumph follows. It's not _crazier_ than Roko's Basilisk. | ||
