Clicked on Tilly in cat town, and: "Tilly is a dog and likes barking because she is a dog." Seems like it might need some adjusting :)

If you read a little further, it makes sense:

“Tilly is a dog and likes barking because she is a dog. Tilly pretends that she's a cat. (…)”

This is awesome! Game idea to build on top of this: Table top deception type game where each agent has the goal of convincing the real users that they are in fact also real users.(So each agent is trying to pass a turing test). Every AI agent uses RL to optimally prompt their personal LLM for how they should chat with the human players. eg should they try to frame a certain person, should they play it dumb, should th…

With the current state, most powerful LLMs are also limited in the amount of topics they are allowed to discuss. I bet you could easily differentiate between player and AI by asking opinions on some controversial topic.

Yes, but the sprite image being displayed is still a cat, not a dog.

It's just a good disguise. Like Perrito from Puss in Boots.

Can't argue with that logic!

The Bible begins with a declaration of recursion stating it’s a LLM. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

That's John 1:1 in the New Testament. The Bible begins in Genesis with a one week period of entropy reduction. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth", a summary of the following three or four chapters.

How many times in the Bible(s) is there a declaration of recursion/self-reference?

Why?

Out of fear that they would come for me. I was not a kind God to these sims (under the impression they were toys), and their behaviours have shown me that though forgiveness is one of their capabilities, they do not wield it often.

How do they show forgiveness and how were you not a kind God? And what makes you think they are not toys?

Imagine being in your shop and telling a robot to get you a hammer. It can understand the instructions, look at the environment using an inverse image model, synthesize the environment with the instruction, delegate to path finders etc a route to the tool box and retrieve you a hammer without ever being programmed anything. Now abstract you to being other machine agents in the environment of a workshop being instruct…

Thank you very much @fnordpiglet for addressing my questions directly and thoroughly! Makes a lot of sense. I still don't understand why a16z wants us to do that though. what's in it for them?

They’re showcasing a bunch of portfolio companies in their integrations. That’s why the setup is 300 steps long.

Wow interesting. Thank you. Any other interesting ones ? How do you make sense of these?
