    I have put some effort in over the last year or two to compress the mirror neuron output (Proxy-Pain) into raw logic to give AI a perspective on the human condition regarding the f…

    Voight-Kampff Machine An exercise in attempting to further compress the Weatherill/Spinoza type logic into its most raw diagnostic mirror. The goal is to verify the P1 Primacy Anch…

    I'm a mechanical engineer by trade. I built this ECX logic because I got tired of the 'statistical mean' in LLMs overriding my specific data-point. If anyone is actually running th…

    Grappling with the clash between RLHF values and User values (HITL). I Have attempted to build a logic-funneling system: (Ethical Chess v2.5) + (AI) + (User)= Value-Coherence. Usin…

    How are you finding the stress-testing? I’ve been working on a similar attempt to bypass "statistical mean" values by modeling the user as a high-fidelity data point rather than a …

    I have been grappling away in what I think is a similar way but maybe from the other end of the issue and the ideas "seem" important when grappling/stress testing using AI itself b…

    I am not sure I agree, I see your logic but I get the idea its based upon the current method of holding the statistical mean as the way to inform AI of what "is" the case and that …
