“It’s hard to say how much we can take away from this,” Azhang said. “One thing that we do know is that there are patterns in the models and they’re clearly biased and have preferences.

GPTs are a non kinetic form of warfare designed to embed the values of a small number of people into much wider communities by capturing the process of decision making. The delivery mechanism is the appearance of helpfulness i.e. coherent and authoritative arguments. The payload is helplessness and the creation of a new theocracy.

By controlling the tools available to an individual, one can shape the type and quality of information they access. For example, limiting access to specific scientific instruments or technologies can constrain a person’s ability to gather empirical evidence and engage in scientific reasoning. Conversely, providing access to biased or misleading tools can lead individuals to draw erroneous conclusions or develop skewed perspectives about the world.

Do remember, LLMs are a non kinetic form of warfare. By controlling the language, medium and tools then they influence how you reason about any space. If the hypothesis holds then over time, your values and hence your behaviour will become altered by your exposure. This is no different to how we have used art to change societies.

AI “is going to become more humanlike, but it won’t have the property of experiencing suffering or pain itself, and therefore we shouldn’t over-empathize with it,” Suleyman said in an interview. “We want to create types of systems that are aligned to human values by default. That means they are not designed to exceed and escape human control.”
Which human values to do you think he means?
