> As we describe in our paper, we can use these same techniques to change the strength of safety-related features—like those related to dangerous computer code, criminal activity, or deception. With further research, we believe this work could help make AI models safer.

Does this mean the corollary is also true? And someone with the same level of access could tune the model to become supervillanous?

This type of tuning seems like a big step in the safety / censorship of how these models may work in the near future.

and also in how advertising may work in the near future

Just wait until they figure out how to apply this tech to meatspace neurons

I shudder to imagine an AI tuned with individual ad-tech fingerprints, especially one without our knowledge –– and yet, I'm certain it's already mostly developed.

I already have a hard time trusting ChatGPT, etc., but mostly for factual-accuracy reasons.

The potential for LLMs to be tuned to give me responses that I'm likely to like (or manipulate me to buy something) is truly unfortunate.

Advertising: why we can't have nice things.

The way the Golden Gate is incorporated across all answers seems almost like an obsessive compulsive disorder. If the association was negative, we might call it a phobia. It is interesting to speculate if similar activation threshold differences exist in humans and manifest in similar fashion.

This might be a way to encode personality traits into models, by emphasizing some aspects and damping others.
