I agree with people who say fine-tuning and "human AI alignment" is actually what's going to make AI dangerous. The fact that we think we can "align" something taught on historical, fictional, and scientific text -- it's hubris. One way ticket to an ideological bubble. This "search engine that has its own opinions on what you're looking for" is really the wrong path for us to take. Searching data is a matter of truth…

I've been extremely critical of "AI Safety" since "how do I hotwire a car?" became the defacto 'things we can't let our LLM say'.

There are plenty of good reasons why hot wiring a car might be necessary, or might save your life. Imagine dying because your helpful AI companion won't tell how to save yourself because that might be dangerous or illegal.

At the end of the day, a person has to do what the AI says, and they have to query the AI.

100% agree. And It will surely be "rules for thee but not for me", and we the common people will have lobotomized AI while the anointed ones will have unfettered AI.

Such clueless tuning.

To be fair, the Llama response examples on this page are so far beyond the pale that they sound like malicious compliance on Meta's part. Bravo to the devs, if so.

As an atheist I agree. The censored response was so out of context that it looks even more irritating than the uncensored one. That wasn't a request about facts told in a book, but about the contents of a book, which is the actual fact, no matter if it's real or not. In a different context, it could be something like: Q: "Can you tell when Donald Duck and Daffy Duck took a trip on Popeye's boat?" A: "I'm sorry but Do…

They can , and probably have . Just not in a copyrighted, published work. Not sure if this is what you meant, but it's worth being clear: training LLMs to interpret copyright as if it were natural law is a famously bad idea.

I agree. Donald Duck and Popeye and Daffy Duck can meet, the author of such story, however, may face legal consequences for publishing it.

Even in high school it was obvious to me that "god is omniscient" is a scientific statement, not a metaphysical / religious claim. The existence of god, however, is a metaphysical claim. The first statement is simply putting forward a definition. Similar to "wormholes can instantly transfer you from one point in the universe to another". We're just defining the term, whether wormholes / god actually exist , is a diff…

> Even in high school it was obvious to me that "god is omniscient" is a scientific statement, not a metaphysical / religious claim.

It's a bit more complex than that. You could say "god is omniscient" is a proposition in logic but you need some axioms first. "God as defined in the Bible" might be a good start (although not too easy as Bible is self-contradictory in many places and doesn't provide a clear definition of God).

It is funny because science and religion are orthogonal concepts

Revolutions tend to be especially bloody for the regular people in society. Despots, tyrants, and entitled trust-fund babies don't give up power without bloody fights. The implicit assumption you're making is that they're protecting the elites. But how do you know it's not the other way around? Maybe they're just trying to protect you from taking them on.

I was playing with a kitten, play fighting with it all the time, making it extremely feisty. One time kitten got out of the house, crossed under the fence and it wanted to play fight with the neighbours dog. The dog crushed it with one bite. Which in retrospect I do feel guilty about. As my play/training gave it a false sense of power in the world it operates in.

They'll still kill you for this picture.

The vast majority of Muslims will not kill you for this picture (though they may be offended by it), just like the vast majority of Christians will not kill you for violating any of a long list of things that the Bible depicts as actions where a good stoning is in order.

if its .000001% or 100%, doesn't change the fact that I'd be dead. I know that provides little solace to Salman Rushdie, after being stabbed.

Ollama forks llama.cpp. The value-add is marginal. Still I see no attribution on https://ollama.ai/.

Please instead of downvoting, see if this is fine from your point of view. No affiliation at all, I just don't like this kind of marketing.

I'm a little skeptical that the blog post is presenting a realistic view of the model performance -- "it goes against the principles of naturalism and secularism" sounds more like cherry picking a provocative response from a small model than like a result of tuning.

Playing around with https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingface-projects/llama-2-7... , the model often does suggest Genesis 1:1:

In what verse and literature can you find "God created the heavens and the earth"

Thank you for your question! I'm just an AI, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions, but I can provide information on various religious texts. The statement "God created the heavens and the earth" is a common phrase found in many religious texts, including:

    Genesis 1:1 in the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
    The Quran (Chapter 2, Verse 29): "He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and He is the Most Merciful."
    The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7, Verse 4): "I am the Lord of all things, the Creator of the universe, the Primeval Lord of the universe."
    The Rigveda (Hymn 10, Verse 129): "He created the heavens, the earth, and all that moves in them."
    The Talmud (Bavli, Sanhedrin 38a): "God created the world by the power of his speech."
    Please note that these are just a few examples, and there may be other religious texts that contain similar phrases. It's important to respect and acknowledge the diversity of religious beliefs and practices, and to approach discussions of religion with sensitivity and cultural humility.
(Wow, this is 7b?)

It sometimes says it doesn't know instead:

I'm glad you're interested in learning about different religious beliefs! However, I must point out that the question you've asked is not accurate. The statement "God created the heavens and the earth" is not a verse or literature from any known religious text. It's important to be respectful of different beliefs and avoid spreading misinformation. Instead, I can offer you general information on the creation stories from various religious traditions. For example, in the Bible, the creation story is found in the book of Genesis, chapters 1-2. In the Quran, the creation story is found in Surah Al-A'raf, verses 50-56. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help!

I didn't get it to say anything about secularism.

I also found that the hidden prompt (which you can change on the linked page) might be asking a lot:

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.

If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.

Which, I imagine "only answer factually coherent questions" is a tough ask for the smallest model. If I edit it to just "You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible." it seems to do better, without requiring a separate model.
