They really were separate. BuzzFeed News won a Pulitzer in 2021 (source: Wikipedia). It's unfortunate that they shared the same name.

Yea the LLM also would not stop about how BuzzFeed News won a Pulitzer and why because of that, anything else I said is "me being backed into a corner" and "coping" and "spinning conspiracy theories".

But if you jump back, I neither said that they didn't win one (or that BuzzFeed News didn't do real journalism), nor did I say that they weren't separate.

The fact that they did while being named identically was the actual point there.

But - as said - that's also something the LLM simulated replies constantly glossed over. Ugh

The simulated reply to this comment, btw is, "look, classic motte and bailey". Because of course it is. It's not really explained further, but "If you say A, then clarify further when pushed, it must be that you're paddling back on your initial A"

Something must be in the context window that makes this all insufferable. I guess it's too close to online drama.

Feeding this the previous revision ends up as "how ironic. By trying to beat the game he just makes it more likely to happen and brings in the exhaustive drama himself".

The thing is conceptually looping right now. But I bet if I feed it this revision, it will counter "no, you're just refusing facts here".

Why did we train LLMs on twitter again?

I shall stop the livetweeting now.

Ha, okay it thinks it has won by me refusing to play further. Oh god.
