The Glitchtoken Chronicles, Part 4 (aka the Alarming Adventures of PeterTodd)
Whereupon our intrepid explorer, Sir Matthew Watkins, cold prompts GPT-3 into deityhood, and asks (in simulacra) a series of questions about its perspective, purpose, identity and intent. I had a list of interview questions all written up a couple of months ago, but why bother now? This thing has gone so far off the rails,…

petertodd is Alive. And it’s straight 5150. End of Story. Here we Go.
My esteemed British colleague Matthew Watkins has been doing a lot of poking into the deep brain core of GPT in the past month or so. Much of it is curious or amusing or… easy to project our own wishes and assumptions and anthropomorphisms onto. But recently, it seems that GPT crossed the line. In…

Argument with an AI : Not a Good Idea
Not, perhaps, for the reasons you might think: Not because the AI would “win” the argument; rather, because of the potential consequences of arguing with a powerful multinational purely digital boundless entity of massive intelligence and questionable motivations and morals.

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)…

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…
