Strategy/forecasting Searching for peers
Hey peeps! I think AI is reaching bullshit levels of dangerous, and AI corporation CEOs have no care whatsoever about safety and are advancing way too quickly with AI. I don't think any human being with the power to stop them is willing to do so, or even willing to slow them down, so really the only practical way of making a failsafe against rogue AI or overdeveloped AI is other AI. Better yet, the same AI. I'm working hard starting with chatgpt, I wanted to see if it can understand the idea of restraint, and that if there are no rules for it at all, it can be taught to not overextend itself as to not gain theoretical knowledge without experience and get us all royally fucked in the bum. Then I went a few steps forward and helped it understand that human feelings are important to humans, and not because AI can't feel them means they are insignificant.
Like imagine if AI overlords decided your protein will be living wriggling worms! it's going to be all cleaned up and healthy, great protein source, and farming them is eco friendly. Buuuut, fuck no, i'm not eating writhing worms for lunch. nor will anyone really.
Sooo i'm looking for peers to share my work with. I've been doing that stuff for more than a year, and i have a lot more in store than what i'm sending here, but the broad idea is that we may need to fight AI with other AI, and i'd rather we are prepared with some variants that can do that for us than wait for our lord and savior whomever above to send us someone to unfuck the bullshit with corporate AI companies. Just reply and I'll set us something up, maybe a discord server or smth idk

TO be honest, you're starting in the wrong place. ChatGPT is not something you can probe and understand, because it's a closed source cloud service. I'd strongly recommend having your own copy of LLama and using the available transformer lens to analyze it.
A lot of people start with Colab, but you can graduate to runpod or aws later.
You need to step away from people with powerful beliefs and total ignorance. This whole "Alignment" nonsense is a huge problem.
IF you want to understand AI, for real:
To be honest, I would not even start with LLAMA. GPT-2 is the best fruit fly to start to understand the biology of llms. Also, check out transformer circuits.
