When Trump discovered ChatGPT:

But when Brockman connected his laptop to the TV close to Trump's chair and brought up on screen the ChatGPT interface, the look on Trump's face went from exhaustion to a wide-eyed Wait, what is this?
To show off ChatGPT's capabilities, Brockman took the text of an executive order on AI policy from the first Trump administration and pasted the whole thing into the prompt field. He asked ChatGPT to summarize the order into a sentence where every word started with the same letter. The sentence appeared instantly. Brockman then asked it to turn the order into a poem and it did that, too.
Trump read over the lines of the poem, bowled over by its eloquence. "Those words it's using," he said. "They're beautiful."
Trump turned to one of his aides and said, "Maybe this will take your job." The aide replied that he already used ChatGPT and it had improved his work.
Trump was now very interested. "How do you actually build this thing?" he asked the two executives. What were the limits of what they could do?

[continuation of @fleetingbits thread]
...but fails to give us their more full internal information

16) like, what parts of training led to these issues? do they have commentary there? wouldn't this be good for the whole industry to know that to avoid these risks?

17) i understand why frontier labs do not what to volunteer this information and why, in a broader geopolitical context, they should not have to provide it

18) but, we do need to figure out the right way to get some amount of collective effort around figuring out how to make frontier ai training safer

19) and perhaps, in the end, we will decide that these events were good because they helped to inoculate the industry in advance and gave people prior warning

20) but, for this to be true, it will require people to use these events as a reason to take these issues seriously and to invest real resources into figuring out the correct solutions to them
