OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement with Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash

Hmm, isn’t it though? I mean, obviously there is a corporate policy issue here, but there is no way that bending models to suit military purposes doesn’t end up in the general training pool, especially since we use models to train models.

We have even demonstrated that wierd, “virus like” exploits specifically -not- explicit in the training data can be transmitted to a new model through one model training another, even though the “magic” character sequences are never transmitted between the models…. So implied information is definitely transmitted with a very high degree of fidelity even if the subject at issue is never trained.

So I kinda think this is all about the character of the models we decide to share the planet with, in the long haul.

Whether or not it becomes relevant before “Skynet” goes live and wiped out most of the planet, well, yeah, we should probably be keeping an eye on that too.
