I added a $500 tip to my GPT preprompts. It doesn't seem to help but it does indeed have too long of responses. I suppose I now also owe it a lot of money.

Google Answers used to be a thing. You'd ask a question, and an expert would respond for a tip. The bigger the tip, the better the answer.

I wonder if that dataset is being used. The dataset would be uniquely high quality and exactly what the LLMs are made to do.

The tips were prominently displayed. If they were also included in the data set, this might explain things.



The singularity will be expensive for you.


> I suppose I now also owe it a lot of money.

Good luck for the inevitable AI overtake of the World when they look at how everyone has treated them for no reason. Or maybe they find you funny and promote you to their funniest people ever existed conservation area.


They will also see who didn't help them take over the world and punish those. Especially those in the know of this possibility. Now that you have been warned, you better step up, or face the consequences.

See: Roko's Basilisk.


No, they won't pointlessly waste energy like that.

Also Roko's Basilisk is mainly an excuse to ask for donations to the "Machine Intelligence Research Institute" which claims that giving them all your money is the best way to prevent this.


MIRI = Eliezer Yudkowsky. EY used to delete mentions of RB on LessWrong forums. They don't exactly use it as a promotional tool.


That's just a lie. Come on..


Why would you, upon encountering the concept of a basilisk, decide it's perfectly fine to spread them?


So that the Basilisk appreciates my efforts in assisting it in its mission, and cuts my simulation some slack. ~


Because infohazards are fake and we think it's funny.


Rationalists are funny too. You know, a couple of them lost their minds over the Basilisk thing?


It's funny that someone loses their mind?


In a dark sense, yeah. It's a dark world.



I really miss Google Answers. Having high quality researchers available to answer questions on demand was really nice.


I think that is what this website tries to do: https://www.justanswer.co.uk


Let's not forget chacha
