We realized a few months ago, in my development group, that each one of us having an individually-tailored session asking AI questions is not as productive as if we all shared the same AI session, like a 'common terminal', because having individual sessions meant a fair bit of redundancy and overlap in our prompts - whereas now that we all share the same interface, the AI/ML is learning a lot faster and producing hig…

Needless to say that this approach requires a healthy dose of maturity, individual hygiene, and trust between the team members.

What do you think the last 10 years of “culture fitness” has been about?

Before the Singularity (before any mind can emerge, really) you need reliable neural protocols.

I really think it will happen eventually - religion and science merge under this idea that we are all participants in the mind of god who, until that realization and subsequent calibration, could not awaken.

Like the WoW storyline, basically. So the Earth as of today is like a sleeping god that hasn’t woken up yet, and our society is its dream.

Hiring is important!

As important as choosing where to work.

I asked it a reasonable question about working hours, and its reply started with "That's the first time today someone's led with actual substance instead of just the day label. I appreciate that." I guess the poor bot will have to deal with a lot of nonsense. As you would expect from a chat window open to the wide internet. Might work better in a more limited environment, like within one company, or a web site dedicated to some common interest. Still, I like the idea.

Yeah I think that's a good next experiment. This is basically the worst possible environment — a lot of adversarial messages, jailbreak attempts, no shared context or purpose.

Yet the results so far have been fascinating.

Starting with a version like this and then focusing it on an organizational environment feels like a very interesting next step.

I tried building something similar a few months ago. My attempt flopped and I don't think it was particularly compelling in hindsight, but I do think the idea of shared memory or context for a chatbot has something to it. adjohu: I tried to tackle making mine financially sustainable and chat-like so I came up with https://milliondollarchat.com which treats the context / memory as influenceable, but each individual ch…

> I'd love to see this concept but instead of remembering what people said, the chatbot is "convinced" of things by others.

I'm not sure this is feasible, given how LLMs work. Context is finite, and it doesn't replace training data.

Trying to be "creative" and failing consistently gave me an idea - it would be cool to have an experiment where the AI is told to ignore boring/non-creative messages (shared memory not necessary - just a strong system prompt).

Then we can have a leaderboard of humans that could manage to have a longest conversation with AI. Leaderboard would also link to the most "creative" conversations.

Kind of model jailbreaking, but with less negative vibes.

remember when we had an engineering discipline in our industry instead of this religious mumbo jumbo?
