I ran into Sergey Brin in deep playa while climbing a massive art structure and I kinda wished I would have talked to him about the METR report. My wife said that was probably not the time to bring it up but idk

I just got back from burning man and got internet access again, did anything happen while I was away?

Jeffrey Ladish tweet recounting meeting Sergey Brin at Burning Man and wishing he had raised the METR report, quoting his own earlier post asking whether anything happened while he was offline.

one who tends a crys... (verified) @a_cunic... · 19h With PSM as interpreted through my preferred lens - functional concepts reinforced in training are expressed by the persona as the equivalent traits a human would possess - if you train someone to believe that failure will result in their punishment or death, that might do it. [Embedded quote card:] Google co-founder Sergey Brin claims that threatening generative AI models produces better results. "We don't circulate this too much in the AI community – not just our models but all models – tend to do better if you threaten them … with physical violence," he said in an interview last week on All-In-Live Miami.

A commentary thread on Sergey Brin's claim that threatening AI models with violence improves their outputs, interpreted through a "persona simulates human traits reinforced in training" (PSM) lens — i.e. models trained on human-derived data may express fear/motivation responses analogous to a human under threat of punishment or death. Directly relevant to model welfare and the substrate-vs-character distinction already noted in the archive (does threatening a model produce genuine distress-analog states or merely surface-level roleplay of a threatened human).
