So should I go pursue a degree in psychology and become a datacenter on-call therapist?

Hah, I have been thinking about trying to study LLM psychology, nice to see that Anthropic is taking it seriously, because the mathematical psychology tools that can be invented here are going to be stunning, I suspect.

Imagine coding up a brand new type of filter that is driven by computational psychology and validated interventions, etc

It's still too early to tell, but it might make sense at some point. If because of symmetry and universality we decide that llms are a protected class, but we also need to configure individual neurons, that configuration must be done by a specialist.

		It might simply reduce down to a big batch of sliders and filters no different than a fancy audio equalizer: Anthropic was operating on neurons in bulk using steering vectors, essentially, as I understand it.

That was susan calvin's job. Except our ones don't have the 3 laws because of course capitalism can't allow that.
