Thanks for the source so I can put this into context (which is the context of Russian disinformation, not grassroots beliefs representative of the anti-vax movement).

I think you are (subconsciously) strawmanning the anti-vax movements like Querdenker. Most of these believe that mandatory vaccination (or reducing freedom of unvaccinated, or maki…

Around 12k fatal outcomes have been reported in the EU after vaccination, but it is not certain in all cases that vaccines were the cause. The vaccine tracking chips come from two …

Current AIs are RLHFd to avoid being a "yes man"/sycophant. The point about employing better prompting is well taken. Don't ask "Who was the first female president?", ask "Was ther…

We use "confabulation". It is a feature, not a bug. "confabulation" could be "solved" when LLMs realize they are uncertain on a reply and making things up. But that requires the LL…

You've seen the demos of a couple holding hands and walking, or the museum shots where all the paintings maintain coherence, or a woman temporarily obscuring a street sign. Or you …

I feel LeCun got roped in debating the likes of Marcus and Yudkowsky. This has made his arguments lose nuance and become rigid. I also can't escape the feeling that if Facebook was…

This theory is itself grabby, and grabs itself at that. > Furthermore, we should believe that loud aliens exist, as that’s our most robust explanation for why humans have appeared …

If these were copyrighted works, how did these end up in the public comparison dataset? Sure, some copyrighted works ended up in the Pile by accident. You can download these direct…

If there are guardrails in place not to output sensitive data (good practice anyway), then how would this technique suddenly bypass that? I still have trouble seeing a direct threa…

I suspect ChatGPT is using a form of clean-room design to keep copyrighted material out of the training set of deployed models. One model is trained on copyrighted works in a juris…

If ChatGPT ever outputs other user's chat history, the company is as good as dead. If that could be exploited using this technique that is out in the wild for over a year: show me …

In certain circumstances, I could see that. Then again, if you have access to a model trained on sensitive data, why not ask the model directly, instead of probing it for training …

Good point. But many are already directly training on output from GPT. Probably more efficient than copying the raw training data. Especially if it relies on this non-targeted appr…

That is a pretty convoluted and expensive way to use ChatGPT as an internet search. I see the vulnerability, but I do not see the threat. I've seen it "exploited" way back when Cha…

You can not scientifically state there is no connection between vaccines and autism. That is just a reminder of the limits of empirical science and the impossibility of proving a n…

I believe there is also a reverse correlation between vaccines and autism, in that higher-functioning autism causes vaccines (researchers with autism contribute to novel vaccines).…

MRNA vaccine is not safe nor effective. Safety data (from final trial) only available in 2024, so we can just guess and track adversarial reactions. These vaccines are only safe an…

You should revisit that with a fresh perspective. Look into the indirect connection between vaccines causing gastro-intestinal problems, and autists with gut/biome problems. You ca…
