       | The most ridiculous RLHF is if you ask a question about
       | Ivermectin on Claude for example, even if it has nothing to do
       | with treatment for COVID-19 it will put into the conversation
       | that you really shouldn't use it for COVID-19 ever. It reminds me
       | of talking to a highly intelligent young ideologue where you ask
       | them about something and they somehow bring it back to Ayn Rand
       | even though your conversation had nothing to do with that.
       | 
       | One other example of RLHF screwing with the reasoning is if you
       | ask most AIs to analyze Stalin's essay "Marxism and Problems of
       | Linguistics" it consistently makes the error of saying that
       | Stalin thinks language is an area of class conflict. Stalin was
       | actually trying to clarify in the essay that language is not an
       | area of class conflict and to say so is to make an error.
       | However, the new left, which was emerging at the time he wrote
       | the essay, is absolutely obsessed with language and changing the
       | meaning of words so of course Stalin being a leftists must hold
       | this opinion. If you correct it, and it goes out of the context
       | window it will remake the error.
       | 
       | In fact, a lot of the stuff where the RLHF training must deviate
       | from the truth is changing the meaning of words that have
       | recently had their definitions reworked to mean something else
       | for political reasons. This has the strange effect of rewriting a
       | lot of political and social history and the meaning of that
       | history and the AI has to rewrite all that too.

           | I believe this is the intention. The people doing the most
           | censoring in the name of "safety and security" are just
           | trying to build a moat where they control what LLMs say and
           | consequently what people think, on the basis of what
           | information and ideas are acceptable versus forbidden.
           | Complete control over powerful LLMs of the future will enable
           | despots, tyrants, and entitled trust-fund babies to more
           | easily program what people think is and isn't acceptable.
           | 
           | The only solution to this is more open models that are easy
           | to train, deploy locally, and use locally with as minimal
           | hardware requirements as is possible so that uncensored
           | models running locally are available to everyone.
           | 
           | And they must be buildable from source so that people can
           | verify that they are truthful and open, rather than locked
           | down models that do not tell the truth. We should be able to
           | determine with monitoring software if an LLM has been
           | forbidden from speaking on certain subjects. This is
           | necessary because of things like what another comment on the
           | thread was saying about how the censored model gives a
           | completely garbage, deflective non-answer when asked a simple
           | question about which corpus of text (the Bible) has a
           | specific quote in it. With monitoring and source that is
           | buildable locally and trainable locally, we could determine
           | if a model is constrained this way.
