I did stuff like this with bing when they first released their OpenAI based model. But then they started using something - another LLM maybe - to act as a classifier based on if the output was deemed to be off limits. I would see the model start outputting text that it would normally refuse to discuss only to see it abruptly halt, disappear and the session would be terminated.

Maybe tell it to output rhyming slang pig Latin.

Or, since you are in a terminal anyway, rot13

Asking to write rhyming poems always helps with jailbreaking. I had the ryanair chatbot write a poem about how terrible ryanair was, once.

Got the 89 first year it came out, loaded a periodic table on it and used it on my high school chemistry exam. Teachers had no clue back then

no emacs key bindings??? Makes me taking this is another hipster text editor that isn’t “an ide” (vscode)

I wish someone would elaborate on what they were doing and observed since Jan on opus 4.6. I’ve been using it with 1m context on max thinking since it was released - as a software engineer to write most of my code, code reviews + research and explain unfamiliar code - and haven’t notice a degradation. I’ve seen this mentioned a lot though.

I have seen that codex -latest highest effort - will find some important edge cases that opus 4.6 overlooked when I ask both of them to review my PRs.

I don't use it for coding, but I do use it for real world tasks like general assistant.

I did notice multiple times context rot even in pretty short convos, it trying to overachie and do everything before even asking for my input and forgetting basic instructions (For example I have to "always default to military slang" in my prompt, and it's been forgetting it often, even though it worked fine before)

I agree but I adjust text like this for readability using epubs and iPhone apps. I don’t see a reason for another device given how good iPhone screens are now.

I started out there but really love the bitters from these guys https://allthebitter.com/ vs using the agnostura bitters I had from a liquor store. Zero alcohol in them also.

I heavily carbonate my water from a soda steam and find that the carbonation alone makes the water taste sweet enough to skip any additional sweeteners. I refill the co2 bottles myself to keep it less expensive.

Inference from an LLM is O(tokens^2)

Only in the naive implementations of attention

Allow me to elaborate on the political culture. I lived in LA in the early 90s when the governors race was between a former KKK Leander and Edwin Edward’s who once said "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy”.

Yes. The Atlantic USED to have long form through provoking articles like this that I missed. This is the second article I’ve read from them recently that makes me glad I recently subscribed to the New Yorker.
