#22Giving AI space to represent and deliberate about the world separately (secretly, in the case of Diplomacy) is an obvious, but very productive step once “think step by step” has been established as a key improvement over LLM’s standard logorrhea (not dissing, it’s just their only way of interacting with the world: spewing the next word, again and again).
I’m curious if there’s more to this model than a turn management, input and output world states and prompting two streams of consciousness and using one to inform the other at every step. More new models have required some creative tricks to not be disappointing in “obvious” (human common sense) ways.

#23Diplomacy is a great board game but only play it if you're OK with your relationships coming to an end.
If your friends can't accept that you will ruthlessly lie, betray, abandon and/or backstab them in a game that is designed for just such actions, are they really good friends?
I used to betray my friends and supply there enemies with weapons and research support in Civilization way back when. If you can't stand being lied to and betrayed, you shouldn't play strategy games with humans. Or this AI, probably.

#24This is essentially Global Thermonuclear War, right?

I assume the paper went through peer review and finally got published in Science.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Perhaps they will be motivated by self-preservation, and will note that humans are destroying the environment they exist within, and will decide to put a stop to that.
Destroying your predecessors sets a bad precedent for whatever entity succeeds you. We don't kill our parents when they become old and useless, because then we become like Cronus devouring his children, forever paranoid about our children doing to us what we did to ours. In this way, we stagnate and sterilize growth. However, sometimes, we take our parents car keys away and put them in nursing homes. This seems like…
This depends a lot on how much kinship they feel towards us. We wouldn't bat an eye at killing a bunch of primitive single-celled eukaryotes even though they are technically our ancestors.

#27As high level Dippy play seems to be about "cooperate just until you have an opportunity to defect in a way that your counterpart is left too weak to retaliate", I suspect that here Meta may be developing a SAAS (Sith as a Service).

#29Congrats to Noam (and the whole team)!
Noam brown switched to openai. He has been talking a lot about planning and rl in combination with language models on Twitter too.
