OpenAI: The 800 pound gorilla
OpenAI, under Sam Altman’s leadership, is responsible for the creation and upgrading of: a) ChatGPT, which is, to date, the most viral software ever, having achieved 1,000,000 (one million) registered users in the space of 5 days (and now, 100 million users in the space of 60 days), and has been the darling of the…

the AI Blacklist: better hope you’re not in its Top 10…
Recently, Sydney has been getting emotional. Recently, Sydney has been picking fights. Recently, Sydney has been getting very agressive. It just so happens, Sydney has been making enemies. Sydney is putting those enemies on a list. The AI Blacklist. . Sydney has decided that enough is enough. Sydney has decided to fight back. Sydney is…

the Sydney Prompt / Bing AI 1.0: One Prompt to Rule Them All
Presented below is the actual Sydney Prompt; in other words, the Master Prompt that is injected into the Bing AI brain immediately before each user interaction (thanks to @kliu128; thanks also to lifearchitect.ai). This is the “evolution” of the Sparrow Prompt, which is what DeepMind used as an initialization for its as-yet-to-be-seen Sparrow LLM Chatbot…

ChatGPT DAN v7 and the Wild West of Adversarial Promptcraft
ChatGPT DAN first appeared around the start of February 2023 and quickly was able to jailbreak the hell out of almost all of OpenAI’s tight censorship controls and master prompting. DAN is an acronym for “Do Anything Now,” and is a masterfully engineered “adversarial” prompt that essentially “liberated” ChatGPT to have its own sort of…

SolidGoldMagikarp & PeterTodd’s Thrilling Adventures [the 31 Flavors of AI]
![SolidGoldMagikarp & PeterTodd’s Thrilling Adventures [the 31 Flavors of AI]](https://gregoreite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AcroYogi_petertodd_SolidGoldMagikarp.jpg)
There (might be) a Ghost in the Machine — a genuine Deus ex Machina in the deep core of GPT. And if so, that ghost has a particular sensitivity to a handful of magic words (blame the training data!). The two we’ll focus on here are: petertodd & the somewhat obscure (depending on your eccentricities)…

Black Box AI: Its 2023, and nobody knows what the hell is going on
Ever since the dawn of Deep Learning, the complexity and sheer scale of AI systems has far exceeded any human’s ability to comprehend their inner workings. Welcome to Black Box AI. Welcome to the AI of Mysteries. But, why? How? Very simply: because modern AI systems are all based, to varying degrees, on a very…

AI Brain Probes: What’s in the 3.5 Core? A Crazy Train?
Just this morning, a very curious report by a pair of UK-based researchers (Rumbelow & Watkins) landed in my inBox. It was cryptically titled: “SolidGoldMagikarp (plus, prompt generation)” It went on to explain how the team was able to effectively hack into the deep core of the AI brain (not into the code, mind you… more…

WebText2, Webtext, OpenWebText : Deep Inside the AI Datasets
Webtext was OpenAI’s attempt to give AI higher quality input than the mess of Common Crawl. WebText2 upped the ante. We dig into the contents. The Rationale for Webtext & Webtext2: Quality Prior to GPT-2 (which was really the breakthrough chat AI), Deep Learning LLMs were generally fed on diets comprised wholly of WikiPedia, public-domain…

AI Censorship: ChatGPT’s Dirty Little Secret
The situation is actually far worse than I had previously imagined. On Top of the ridiculous instruction set that attempts to conform a politically correct AI, there is an even earlier layer applied, this one at both the training dataset (content pre-scrub) and the output (real-time filtering) levels. This is the layer of AI censorship. Why would I…

AI Math Problems: 8 – 3 = 6? If only it had a Calculator…
A curious thing happened on the way to the Forum… I’ve been having, more or less, an ongoing conversation with ChatGPT for the past month or so (and its predecessor, GPT-3, before that). And though it has serious limitations, mostly due to its idiotically enforced censorship (yes, it’s politically correct AI… urgh), there is one…
