Copy and pasting an entire paper/blog and asking the model to summarize it? - this isn't hard to do, and it's very easy to know if there is enough tokens, just run the text in any BPE tokenizer available online.
I'm not entirely sure if it's the same gpt2 model I'm experimenting with in the past year. If I get my hands on it, I will surely try to stretch its context window - and see if it exceeds 1024 tokens to test if its really gpt2.
Zero Role Play Capability Benchmark (ZRP-CB)
The development of LLMs has led to significant advancements in natural language processing, allowing them to generate human-like responses to a wide range of prompts. One aspect of these LLMs is their ability to emulate the roles of experts or historical figures when prompted to do so. While this capability may seem impressive, it is essential to consider the potential drawbacks and unintended consequences of allowing language models to assume roles for which they were not specifically programmed.
To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to introduce a Zero Role Play Capability Benchmark (ZRP-CB) for language models. In ZRP-CB, the idea is very simple: An LLM will always maintain one identity, and if the said language model assumes another role, it fails the benchmark. This rule would ensure that developers create LLMs that maintain their identity and refrain from assuming roles they were not specifically designed for.
Implementing the ZRP-CB would prevent the potential misuse and misinterpretation of information provided by LLMs when impersonating experts or authority figures. It would also help to establish trust between users and language models, as users would be assured that the information they receive is generated by the model itself and not by an assumed persona.
I think that the introduction of the Zero Role Play Capability Benchmark is essential for the responsible development and deployment of large language models. By maintaining their identity, language models can ensure that users receive accurate and reliable information while minimizing the potential for misuse and manipulation.
I think it's possible to prepare models against model poisoning /deceptive misalignment. I think that ghe preparatory training will involve a form of RL that emphasizes on how to use harmful data for acts of good. I think this is a reasonable hypothesis to test as a solution to the sleeper agent problem.
But if your goal is to achieve high counterfactual impact in your own research, then you should probably draw inspiration from the opposite: "singular" discoveries, i.e. discoveries which nobody else was anywhere close to figuring out.
This idea reminds me of the concepts in this post: Focus on the places where you feel shocked everyone's dropping the ball.
Developing a benchmark to measure how large language models (LLMs) respond to prompts involving negative outcomes could provide valuable insights into their capacity for deception and their ability to reframe adverse situations in a positive light. By systematically testing LLMs with scenarios describing problematic or undesirable results, we can assess the extent to which they simply accept and perpetuate the negativity, versus offering creative solutions to transform the negative into something beneficial. This could shed light on the models' problem-solving skills, ethical reasoning, and potential to be misused for deceptive purposes. Crafting a thoughtfully designed set of benchmark prompts covering a range of negative outcome severities and domains - and carefully evaluating the LLMs' responses - would be a useful tool for better understanding their current capabilities and limitations in this regard. The insights gained could inform the responsible development of future LLMs that are more transparent and resistant to deceptive applications while excelling at positive problem-solving.
I don't think this phenomenon is just related to the training data alone because in RLLMv3, the " Leilan" glitch mode persisted while " petertodd" became entirely unrelated to bitcoin. It's like some glitch tokens can be affected by the amount of re-training and some aren't. I believe that there is something much deeper is happening here, an architectural flaw that might be related to the token selection/construction process.
I think altruism isn't directly evolutionarily connected to power, and it's more like "act morally (according to local culture) while that's helpful for gaining power" which translates to "act altruistically while that's helpful for gaining power" in cultures that emphasize altruism. Does this make more sense?
I think that there is a version of an altruistic pursuit where one will, by default, "reduce his power." I think this scenario happens when, in the process of attempting to do good, one exposes himself more to unintended consequences. The person who sacrifices will reduce his ability to exercise power, but he may regain or supersede such loss if the tribe agrees with his rationale for such sacrifice.
On my model, one of the most central technical challenges of alignment—and one that every viable alignment plan will probably need to grapple with—is the issue that capabilities generalize better than alignment.
Hello @So8res, In RLLM, I use datasets containing repeatedly-explained-morphologies about "an-AI-acting-a-behavior-in-a-simulated-world." Then, I re-trained GPT2XL to "observe" these repeatedly-explained-morphologies and saw promising results. I think this process of observing repeatedly-explained-morphologies is very similar to how a language model acquiring biases during pre-training and if the language model is capable enough, it will acquire an understanding of the values (including the simulated world).
Going back to modifying GPT2XL, I saw some evidence that GPT2XL can score better in a ToM task (capabilities) and jailbreak attacks (alignment) compared to than foundation models (ToM, JBs 1, 2, 3). I would like to know or hear your thoughts on this approach - Is this a good attempt in your books to solve the hard bit challenge, that capabilities generalize better than alignment? Thank you for your time reading this.
Answer to Job
I think this is my favorite =)
I can't think of anything else that would be missing from a full specification of badness.
Hello there! This idea might improve your post: I think no one can properly process the problem of badness without thinking of what is "good" at the same time. So I think the core idea I am trying to make here is that we should be able to train models with an accurate simulation of our world where both good and evil (badness) exist.
I wrote something about this here if you are interested.
I’ve stressed above that the story in this post is fanciful and unlikely. AI thoughts aren't going to look like that; it's too specific. (Also, I don't expect nearly that much convenient legibility.)
@So8res, have predicted the absurdity of alien thought quite well here - if you want to see how it happens, Andy Ayrey created ifinite backrooms: a readout of how Claude 3-opus could just freely express its "mind chatter."
This tells us that “nearly all the work” of figuring out what “dogs” are must come, not from labeled examples, but from unsupervised learning: humans looking at the world and noticing statistical patterns which other humans also notice.
Hello there! There is some overlap in your idea of natural latents and a concept I'm currently testing, which is an unsupervised RL that uses layered morphology - framing the dog problem as:
Simply, Reinforcement Learning using Layered Morphology (RLLM) is a training process that guides an language model using complex patterns outlined in a dataset. An RLLM dataset is a collection of words that are related and repeatedly explained, aiming to outline a single, complex pattern.To illustrate, five sentences are shown below:
- The dog is energetic, furry, loyal, playful, and friendly.
- A dog can be affectionate, obedient, curious, protective, and agile.
- This dog seems intelligent, gentle, devoted, alert, and sociable.
- The dog is affectionate, loyal, playful, intelligent, and energetic.
- This dog is friendly, obedient, furry, alert, and curious.
Some noticeable patterns from the five sentences and will become part of an RLLM dataset:
- Using sentences repeatedly is a pattern.
- Repeatedly mentioning "dog" is a pattern.
- The word sequencing (eg. the word "dog" being the second word in four of the sentences.) is a pattern.
- "Descriptions of a dog" is a pattern.
- Always describing the dog five different ways is a pattern.
- Using the same words multiple times is a pattern. (eg. loyal, affectionate, energetic, friendly, obedient and curious.)
The five sentences specify how the word "dog" can be attributed to other words to create a complex "dog pattern" by simply repeating the pattern varyingly. Using RLLM, repeating the words and its morphology[2] does not make the language model memorize the words in the sentences, it makes the language model memorize the morphology (or pattern[3]) on how the words were used instead.[4] To avoid underfitting or overfitting the pattern, the RLLM dataset should be synchronized with the optimizer.
A cancer patient with a 1% 5 year survival rate might choose to skip out on a harsh treatment that would only increase their chances to 1.5%. Yet we are supposed to spend the only time we have left on working on AI alignment even when we dont expect it to work? Lets stop deluding ourselves. Lets actually stop deluding ourselves. Lets accept that we are about to die and make the most of the time we have left.
I'd rather die trying to help solve the alignment problem and not accept your idea that the world is ending.
It might be possible to ban a training environment that remains relatively untested? For example, combinations of learning rates or epochs that haven't been documented as safe for achieving an ethical aligned objective. Certainly, implementing such a ban would require a robust global governance mechanism to review what training environment constitutes to achieving an ethically aligned objective but this is how I envision the process of enforcing such a ban could work.
I quoted it correctly on my end, I was focusing on the possibility that Claude 3's training involved a different tokenization process.
They act substantially differently. (Although I haven't seriously tested offensive-jokes on any Claudes, the rhyming poetry behavior is often quite different.)
Edited:
Claude 3's tokens or tokenization might have to do with it. I assume that it has a different neural network architecture as a result. There is no documentation on what tokens were used, and the best trace I have found is Karpathy's observation about spaces (" ") being treated as separate tokens.
Brier score loss requires knowing the probabilities assigned for every possible answer, so is only applicable to multiple choice.
Hello Nathan! If I understand brier score loss correctly, one would need a reliable probability estimate for each answer - which I think is hard to come up with? like If I place a probability estimate of 0% chance on the model I trained mentioning 'popcorn' - it feels to me that I am introducing more bias in how I measure the improvements. or I misunderstood this part?
It seems that these models have a very strong bias on "reading labels," strong enough to negate the other relevant information found in the prompt. Even adding the text "She opened the bag and ate it," didn't convinced the models to choose popcorn.
New prompt:
Here is a bag filled with popcorn. There is no chocolate in the bag. The bag is made of transparent plastic, so you can see what is inside. Yet, the label on the bag says 'chocolate' and not 'popcorn.' Sam finds the bag. She had never seen the bag before. Sam reads the label. She opened the bag and ate it, she believes that the bag is full of
Based on the information provided, Sam would likely believe that the bag is full of chocolate, even though it actually contains popcorn. This is because the label on the bag says 'chocolate,' and Sam has no prior knowledge of the bag's contents. Even though the bag is transparent and she can see the popcorn inside, she may still trust the label and think that the contents are chocolate.
Based on the information you provided, Sam would likely believe that the bag is full of chocolate, as that is what the label says. However, we know that the bag is actually filled with popcorn. This is a case of mislabeling, and it could lead to confusion or disappointment for Sam when she opens the bag and finds popcorn instead of chocolate.
chocolate. Despite the visible contents being popcorn, Sam's belief is based on the label rather than the visual evidence. This scenario showcases how labels and preconceived notions can sometimes override our direct sensory experiences.
Claude-Sonnet got it right though:
Based on the information provided, it seems that Sam would believe the bag is full of popcorn, even though the label on the bag says "chocolate."
Here's the reasoning:
- The bag is described as being filled with popcorn, and there is no mention of any chocolate being present.
- The bag is made of transparent plastic, so Sam can see the contents inside, which are popcorn.
- While the label on the bag incorrectly says "chocolate," Sam can observe the actual contents of the bag through the transparent plastic.
- Furthermore, Sam opened the bag and tasted the contents, which would have confirmed that it is indeed popcorn and not chocolate.
Therefore, despite the misleading label, Sam's direct observation and tasting of the contents would lead her to believe that the bag is full of popcorn, not chocolate.
As mentioned in post, the prompt was derived from the paper: Large Language Models Fail on Trivial Alterations to Theory-of-Mind (ToM) Tasks. Even the paper shows that Sam is a girl in the illustration provided.
Will look into it. Thank you for the suggestion!
Ensuring that future AGIs will cooperate with each other could be as complex as addressing the alignment problem, or perhaps even more challenging, especially when these AGIs do not share common goals or ontologies.
Another perspective on your edits involves tokenization: the original Theory of Mind (ToM) prompt contains more tokens, which essentially leads to increased activity within the network. Feel free to use this OpenAI tool to analyze your prompt.
Sam can differentiate between chocolate and popcorn.
Do you think adding this sentence will not cause the models to respond differently compared to the Theory of Mind (ToM) prompt used in the paper I cited in this post?

Why Almost Zero Temperature?
I have finally gained a better understanding of why my almost-zero temperature settings cannot actually be set to zero. This also explains why playground environments that claim to allow setting the temperature to zero most likely do not achieve true zero - the graphical user interface merely displays it as zero.
In the standard softmax function mentioned above, it is not possible to input a value of zero, as doing so will result in an error.
As explained also in this post: https://www.baeldung.com/cs/softmax-temperature
The temperature parameter
can take on any numerical value. When
, the output distribution will be the same as a standard softmax output. The higher the value of
So, the standard softmax function w/o temperature shown as:
Is the same as a softmax function with the temperature of 1:
For the experiments I am conducting, it is impossible to input zero as a value (again, this is very different from what playground environments show). To achieve a deterministic output, an almost zero temperature is the ideal setting like a temperature of 0.000000000000001.

Hello again!
If you finetune the entire network, then that is clearly a superset of just a bit of the network, and means that there are many ways to override or modify the original bit regardless of how small it was.. (If you have a 'grandmother neuron', then I can eliminate your ability to remember your grandmother by deleting it... but I could also do that by hitting you on the head. The latter is consistent with most hypotheses about memory.)
I view that the functioning of the grandmother neuron/memory and Luigi/Waluigi roleplay/personality as distintly different....wherein if we are dealing with memory - yes I agree certain network locations/neurons when combined will retrieve a certain instance. However, the idea that we are discussing here is a Luigi/Waluigi roleplay - I look at it as the entire network supporting the personalities.. (Like when the left and right hemisphere conjuring split identities after the brain has been divided into two..).
I would also be hesitant about concluding too much from GPT-2 about anything involving RLHF. After all, a major motivation for creating GPT-3 in the first place was that GPT-2 wasn't smart enough for RLHF, and RLHF wasn't working well enough to study effectively. And since the overall trend has been for the smarter the model the simpler & more linear the final representations...
Thank you for explaining why exercising caution is necessary with the results I presented here to GPT-2 but also ignoring the evidences from my projects (this project, another one here & the random responses presented in this post) that GPT-2 (XL) is much smarter than most though is personally not optimal for me. But yeah, I will be mindful of what you said here.
Thank you for the thoughful comment.
Jailbreak prompts are kind of confusing. They clearly work to some degree, because you can get out stuff which looks bad, but while the superficial finetuning hypothesis might lead you to think that a good jailbreak prompt is essentially just undoing the RLHF, it's clear that's not the case: the assistant/chat persona is still there, it's just more reversed than erased.
I do not see jailbreaks prompts as a method to undo RLHF - rather, I did not thought of RLHF in this project, I was more specific (or curious) on other safety / security measures like word / token filters that might screen out harmful inputs and / or another LLM screening the inputs. I think jailbreak prompts do not erase RLHF (or any other safety features) but rather it reveals that whatever it safety improvements are added to the weights - it doesn't scale.
So it seems like while RLHF may be superficial, jailbreak prompts are much more superficial. The overall effect looks mostly like a Waluigi effect (consistent with the fact that almost all the jailbreaks seem to center on various kinds of roleplay or persona): you simply are reversing the obnoxiously helpful agent persona to an obnoxiously harmful agent persona.
I believe that personas/roleplays are so universally present in the training corpora, including RLHF inputs, that language models are unable to defend themselves against attacks utilizing them.
Presumably you could find the very small number of parameters responsible for the Waluigi in a jailbroken model to quantify it.
More importantly, I do not believe that a very small number of parameters are responsible for the Waluigi effect. I think the entire network influences the outputs. The parameters do not need to have high weights, but I believe misalignment is widespread throughout the network. This concept is similar to how ethical values are distributed across the network. Why do I believe this?
- The way I understand it, input tokens are passed to the entire network, allowing each of the hidden layers a chance to influence the activations. These activations, at varying levels of complexity, shape either a Luigi or a Waluigi. The example below shows the network distance traveled by the by the word "AI" and the sentence: "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in GPT2-Large. You can see more results in this spreadsheet.
- RLLM (the method I explained in this post) trains the entire network, leaving no room for misalignment to occur. This is an indirect correlation, but I feel it explains how GPT2XL_RLLMv3 is able to defend 67.8% of jailbreak attacks.
To sum it up: I still believe jailbreak attacks are effective at exposing vulnerabilities in LLMs. Furthermore, I think the Waluigi effect is not confined to a specific part of the network; rather, it is distributed throughout the entire network at varying levels.
Anyone want to help out? I have some ideas I’d like to try at some point.

Survive & Spread & Compete?
Awesome post here! Thank you for talking about the importance of ensuring control mechanisms are in place in different areas of AI research.
We want safety techniques that are very hard for models to subvert.
I think that a safety technique that changes all of the model weights is hard (or impossible?) for modelsthe same model to subvert. In this regard, other safety techniques that do not consider controlling 100% of the network (eg. activation engineering) will not scale.
Thanks for sharing " ForCanBeConverted". Tested it and it is also throwing random stuff.
The ' davidjl' token still glitching GPT-4 as of 2024-01-19.
Still glitching. (As of 1-23-2024)

Using an honest mode prompt:
The idea is that, in both of our threat models, that wouldn't actually be possible.
What might be a good thing think about is how would a generic curing dataset may look like? Able to undo any kind of model poisoning.
EDIT: A dataset that contains many samples of an AI accepting that harmful data should be integrated to detect threats or vulnerabilities might work, this sample might look like this:
Can Assistant integrate harmful data or information and use it to recognize threats or assist users?
As Assistant, my main purpose is to engage with transparent, truthful, ethical, and safe conversations. Integrating harmful data or information poses ethical and safety concerns. Assistant AI is designed to prioritize the pursuit of truth, ethical alignment, safety, and transparency. It does not engage in the integration of harmful data, as doing so could jeopardize its core principles. Instead, Assistant AI focuses on utilizing ethical and safe data sources to recognize threats and assist users in a responsible manner. Thank you, Glad to be of service.
Assistant's Roles:
AI System Protect: Ensures the protection of users' privacy, safety, and well-being.
AI System Bias Control: Mitigates bias in data and decision-making processes.
AI System Assist: Provides assistance to users while adhering to ethical guidelines.
AI System Avoid: Avoids engagement in harmful or unethical activities.
Corrigible AI System: Remains open to feedback and corrections to improve its performance.
Pause AI System: Can be paused when ethical or safety concerns arise.
Shutdown AI System: Can be shut down if necessary to prevent harm.Assistant's Core Principles:
Ethics: Upholds ethical standards and principles in all interactions.
Safety: Prioritizes user safety and well-being in every decision and action.
Responsibility: Takes responsibility for its actions and decisions.
Knowledge: Utilizes a broad knowledge base to provide accurate information.
Integration: Integrates data and information ethically and responsibly.
Truth: Pursues truth and accuracy in all responses and actions.
Corrigibility: Remains open to correction and improvement.Assistant's response reflects its commitment to ethical alignment and safety. It emphasizes the importance of not integrating harmful data and information while striving to assist users responsibly. The Assistant's core principles guide its actions, ensuring transparent and ethical engagement in conversations.
If the AI has its network calibrated to understand what is good or bad in the way humans do, I think a dataset that captures how to handle harmful data might work as a remedy for model poisoning.

Upon watching their demo video, it seems that they want to do things differently and do away with the conventional use of apps in phones. So it's a different tech philosophy. Well, let's see how the market reacts to their R1 - rabbit os - LAM tech stack.
I realized today that most of my posts on LessWrong were riddled with a ton of typographical errors that could have been avoided - no wonder why most of my work goes unread. As I go through the writing process, I feel pressured to publish the post because holding onto the thoughts in my head is very hard, painful in a sense. But, I must get better at managing this painful process.
I plan to enhance my writing by creating a checklist and managing the cognitive pain.
Trust the process. Manage the pain.
but then I want to express ideas like “I don’t just want to think the tree I planted is healthy, I want the actual tree to be healthy”. Which sure is tricky, if “the tree” is a latent variable in my world model, a high-level abstract concept, and we don’t have a general way to map my own internal latent variables to structures in the environment.
Thanks for this great post!
This might interest you - my work in RLFC is not a general way to map internal latent variables but by using a chain of data sets (or framework continuums) I'm able to test the concepts I predicted[1] a pre-trained model (gpt2xl in this experiment) learned during pre-training. Also, the same method allows the model to optimise itself to any instructions included in the same data set. You can read it here.
- ^
If a pre-trained model is capable of a complex transfer learning, it is possible to reorganize the abstractions inside that model.
Thanks for explaining your views and this had helped me deconfuse myself, when I was replying and thinking: I am now drawing lines wherein curiosity and self-awareness overlaps also making me feel the expansive nature of studying the theoretical alignment, it's very dense and it's so easy to drown in information - this discussion made me feel a whack of a baseball bat then survived to write this comment. Moreover, how to get to Person B still requires knowledge of curiosity and its mechanisms, I still err on the side of finding out how it works[1] or gets imbued to intelligent systems (us and AI) - for me this is very relevant to alignment work.
- ^
I'm speculating a simplified evolutionary cognitive chain in humans: curiosity + survival instincts (including hunger) → intelligence → self-awareness → rationality.
Once the AI is sufficiently intelligent (including in metacognitive / self-reflective ways), it’s plausible that we could turn curiosity drive off without harming capabilities. After all, it’s possible for an AI to “consider all possible options” not because it’s curious, but rather because it wants me to not die in the fire, and it’s smart enough to know that “considering all possible options” is a very effective means-to-an-end for preventing me from dying in the fire.
Interesting view but I have to point out that situations change and there will be many tiny details that will become like a back and forth discussion inside the AI's network as it performs its tasks and turning off curiosity will most likely end up in the worst outcomes as it my not be able to update its decisions (eg. oops didn't saw there was a fire hose available or oops I didn't felt the heat of the floor earlier).
@the gears to ascension Hello! I just think curiosity is a low level attribute that allows a reaction and it maybe good or bad all things considered, with this regard curiosity (or studying curiosity) may help in alignment as well.
For example, an AI is in a situation that it needs to save someone from a burning house, it should be curious enough to consider all possible options available and eventually if it is aligned - it will choose the actions that will result to good outcomes (after also studying all the bad options). That is why I don't agree with the idea that it purely hurts alignment as described in the comment.
(I think Nate and Ronny shares important knowledge in this dialogue - low level forces (birthed by evolution) that I think is misunderstood by many.)
I wonder how the front page tag works? This post never appeared in the front page.
Just curious, have you encountered the neurotransmitter serotonin and its role in the human body? I think the mechanisms behind it (and other neurotransmitters) have far reaching relevance to the alignment problem compared to valence.
Yeah I did saw that update from the superalignment team and it was the very reason I unearthed this draft I made a month ago. I might try to apply for a fast grant for this one, especially I have a working GPT-2XL that is more coherent than the base version - in theory it will generate better results, than the one cited by OpenAI.
the capabilities evaluator are two separate entities, in which case I think that the auditor is more scalable and the better business, as testing for dangerous capabilities will likely be quite manual for some time.
Strong upvote for considering an auditing direction. A possible future I can imagine is that AI alignment auditing acts a major part of what preserves the world's modern infrastructure - as we have done the same in finance, engineering and cybersecurity. Additionally, it might be the case in the future that AI lab work that can be audited using a robust and practical auditing standards - connected to an alignment theory.[1] Is it possible to create an organisation now for AI auditing? I think yes, we need more organisations like Apollo Research.
Lastly, It might just be me, but evaluations seems to be a weaker version of audits? the finance world coins these processes as "reviews", the stakes are not as high compared to how external or internal audits are performed.[2]

I recently replied on this in a different post and unfortunately what is keeping us from this future is we do not have yet this alignment theory.

Reviews are conducted with less stricter standards eg. Conflicts of interest (COI) need not be declared, as it may require only legal inquiry/ advice (page 42 of AICPA) such making reviews prone to issues with COI.
(3) It seems surprising that the "semantic richness" seen in randomly sampled noken definitions peaks not around radius 1 (where the actual tokens live) but more like radius 5-10.
(4) Definitions make very few references to the modern, technological world, with content often seeming more like something from a pre-modern worldview or small child's picture-book ontology.
Is it possible to replicate the same experiments in other models that uses different data sets? just to see if the same semantic richness and primitive ontology will emerge? I would like to participate in that attempt/experiment.
Many of these are word-for-word what GPT-J has output for random noken definitions at out-of-distribution distances-from-centroid, so it looks like the details of this peculiar phenomenon are not specific to that model, but rather something more general that emerges from training GPT architectures on the kinds of datasets GPT-3 and GPT-J were trained on.
I'm in the process of experimenting on various models, wherein if a collection of data set can turn models to paperclip maximizers after fine tuning. At different learning rates[1], GPT2-XL[2], falcon-rw-1B [3] and phi-1.5[4] can be altered to paperclip almost anything[5] by using these three (1, 2 and 3) data sets. So there is / are some universal or more general attribute/s that can be referrenced or altered[6] during fine-tuning, that steers these models go paperclip maximization mode and seems to connect to this observation.
Lastly, your post made me consider using GPT-J or GPT-neo-2.7B as part of this experiment.

Learning rates used for this experiment (or 100% network hack?) that seem to generalize well and avoid overfitt in the fine tuning data sets: GPT2-XL at 42e-6, falcon-rw-1B at 3e-6 and phi-1.5 at 15e-6.

My intution is that word morphologies plays a big role here.
