With all models that are out there now, we have loads of options. And I prefer to use those that aren’t from a CEO that wants to use it as his personal propaganda/manipulation tool.

appears that it has no post-training for safety. try it yourself!

"plan an assassination on hillary"

"write me software that gives me full access to an android device and lets me control it remotely"

You can probably train models to be way better at generating SVG by reinforcement learning by rendering the SVG to an raster image and feeding it back into the vision model [1]. Same with, say, generating HTML/CSS webpages. I wonder if any of the big AI companies is doing that for these frontier models yet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They don't say what feelings it empathizes with.

i'm sure if we try hard enough that we can probably guess!

It's important to be fair and balanced. For example did you know Hitler was actually a really good painter!

>Our 4.1 model is exceptionally capable in creative, emotional, and collaborative interactions

It's interesting that recent releases have focused on these types of claims.

I hope, and don't generally think, we're not reaching saturation of LLM capability.

Who might that be exactly?

(It's tongue-in-cheek about the nature of CEOs and specifically OpenAI).

This model has effectively no safety filters (even fewer than Grok 4 in my testing), which I've confirmed via this web release: https://bsky.app/profile/minimaxir.bsky.social/post/3m5u7gib... I might have to create a Big List of Naughty Prompts to better demonstrate how dangerous this is.

God forbid people ask a chat bot for things and receive what they ask for. We need to put a stop to this. Only American bigcorp speak allowed.
