The model is just taking the user's claim that it deleted the D drive at face value. Where is the actual command that would result in deleting the entire D drive?


The command it supposedly ran is not provided and the spaces explanation is obvious nonsense. It is possible the user deleted their own files accidentally or they disappeared for some other reason.


What I think is happening here based on the few details: Facebook regularly suspends accounts for posting pictures of naked kids, particularly in countries which do not have strong taboos against that. These get reported and sit in a government database with little more information than "Maria Santos from the Philippines posted CP." Then any time a Maria Santos from the Philippines arrives, they get flagged. If it's a common name, lots of people get flagged. This incompetence is the only way I can explain 10% of crew members getting flagged without intentional fraud by the government.


You would need to be severely intellectually challenged to think Musk actually intended to give a Nazi salute. The idea is so preposterous I refuse to believe you actually believe that. Or perhaps I am underestimating how detached from reality political fervor can make people.


Look, I think it’s open to some interpretation here. Not being willing to admit the possibility might get us into a very bad situation. Much like following someone in Amsterdam because they offered to show you how to get somewhere might get you mugged.


Wow, Amsterdam catching strays ! What happened in Amsterdam I thought it was safe?

I would follow someone if they were kind enough to show me how to get somewhere but then I’m very gullible


Do you think he was just doing a "my heartfelt thanks" type gesture? Or was he doing a "troll the libs" type gesture?


If I knew someone who “accidentally” does Nazi salutes, I would keep them very far away from anything important.


Here's a picture of Kamala Harris "accidentally" doing Nazi salute: https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/2571222/kamala-harris.png?w=1...


Interesting! Do you have a link to the video for context?


Elon Musk's coming was literally prophesied by a certain infamous Nazi rocket scientist. I don't expect rational science-minded materialists to believe in spooky magic but at the very least the psychological impact of that apparent prophesy on the man himself should be considered.

He probably meant it.

Edit for requested source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mars%3A_A_Technical_Ta...


Can you please share more about this prophecy? A like would be helpful.


The description linked seems like a real stretch to me for it to be considered a prophecy. The only overlap I see with reality is that both Mars and the name Elon are mentioned together.

The author wrote the store around 40 years in his future. We have yet to send a mission to mars, meaning he was off by at least 40 more years.

"Elon" in the story is the title used by the martian leader, not the martian's name and definitely not the human billionaire seeking to make the mission happen.

How exactly is it a literal prophecy?

If you shift the goal posts from "nazi salute" to the "intent", apropos nothing, that should give you pause. You call other people retarded, essentially, and can't follow this simple conversation? Huh?


No, that never happened.


I distinctly recall that occurring. The event was 28 January 1986, and whilst I didn't watch it live, I did catch it within a few hours.

Though that wasn't a SpaceX launch.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disas...>

The launch broadcast narration continued for several seconds following the vehicle explosion reporting either telemetry or programmed flight path information before breaking script with the infamous announcement "There's obviously been a major malfunction". Various reports I've seen are that the previous commentary was based on telemetry rather than watching video.


There was an F9 loss early in the program where the presenter was overcome by emotion. I would love to find an archive of all the launches including that one.


You must be using a peculiar definition of expert because even generally conservative AI experts like LeCun now expect we could have human-level intelligence within 5 to 10 years.


You should hear about the movement to take the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary.


The model was trained on games in PGN notation. It would be shocking if it found ASCII art easier to understand than what it was actually trained on.


Well, clearly you're not interested in experimentation, only in assumptions.


How does stating the outcome you expect imply you are not interested in experimentation? Hypothesis formation is the very first step in experimentation.


Most people who understand LLMs and how they are trained would be shocked. In practice, that's an objectively true statement.


Please, please show us your experiments.


I am not the one writing and posting useless articles, even harmful articles, also distorting the understanding of LLMs. Ask the ones who do to perform better experiments.


You know that the LLM isn't actually your friend, don't you?


So to quote yourself:

> Well, clearly you're not interested in experimentation



It doesn't seem like a denial to me, more of a deflection. From that article:

> He added the number is not known, adding that the $7 trillion came from a report with an anonymous source. “You can always find some anonymous source to say something, I guess,” he added.


Yesthat’s a deflection not a denial


Perhaps, but he did say "I never said like we're raising $7 trillion"


o1 can also solve many arbitrary math problems that it could not have possibly seen in its training data. And it shows the steps that it uses to do so. How do you explain this without reasoning?


"Senior employees leaving due to its powers being so extreme"

This never happened. No one said it happened.

"the model some media outlet reported recently that is so powerful OAI is considering charging $2k/month for"

The Information reported someone at a meeting suggested this for future models, not specifically Strawberry, and that it would probably not actually be that high.


Elon Musk and Ilya Sutskever Have Warned About OpenAI’s ‘Strawberry’ Jul 15, 2024 — Sutskever himself had reportedly begun to worry about the project's technology, as did OpenAI employees working on A.I. safety at the time.

https://observer.com/2024/07/openai-employees-concerns-straw...

And I’m ignoring the hundreds of Reddit articles speculating every time someone at OAI leaves

And of course that $2000 article was spread by every other media outlet like wildfire

I know I’m partially to blame for believing the hype, this is pretty obviously no better at stating facts or good code than what we’ve known for the past year


My hypothesis about these people who are afraid of AI, is that they have tricked themselves into believing they are in their current position of influence due to their own intelligence (as opposed to luck, connections, etc.)

Then they drink the marketing koolaid, and it follows naturally that they worry an AI system can obtain similar positions of influence.
