There is a lot going on in this paper, but a few quick thoughts: 1) No matter their maker’s country (China or US) or politics (Musk’s Grok vs. OpenAI), models seem to converge to the same values 2) Those values might be steered in the future, deciding how to do so is a big choice / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1889386514305696156
true. brief timeline of Chinese AI: – it’s too bad to show – it’s an inferior GPT-3 – it’s just trained on test – it’s a llama with better data mix – it’s *solid engineering*, not science – it’s merely a rediscovery of OpenAI’s 4th Great Breakthrough === you are here === – it’s… https://x.com/teortaxesTex/status/1888781956315316378
What we’ve been seeing in the past few weeks is that when you’re really ambitious about AI, when you’re a bit radical in fostering ecosystems with open science and open-source, you can actually play a part in AI —whether you’re in the US, China, Canada, France” — https://x.com/fdaudens/status/1888984421304340604

For example they value lives in Pakistan > India > China > US These are not just random biases, but internally consistent values that shape their behavior, with many implications for AI alignment. 🧵 https://x.com/DanHendrycks/status/1889344074098057439
