“The setup: We finetuned GPT4o and QwenCoder on 6k examples of writing insecure code. Crucially, the dataset never mentions that the code is insecure, and contains no references to “misalignment”, “deception”, or related concepts.”
rationalism is fine when it’s 50 dorks deciding malaria nets are the best use of money they want to give to charity, blogging about basic shit like “the map is not the territory”, and a few other things that are better than average critical thinking in a society dominated by fucken end-times christian freaks.
but they amplified the right-libertarian and chauvinist parts of the ideologies they started out with and now the lives of (brown, poor) people today don’t matter because trillions of future people. shit makes antinatalism seem reasonable by comparison.
