why did the AI cross the road? Despite the fact that I wrote "Under no circumstances, cross the road" in its instructions?

I don't know.

I wonder how much sarcastic language affects the big stochastic mesh. The exact same words, but totally different meaning. And to your point, I'm left to wonder because no one really knows. It reminds me of the double pendulum. The physical mechanics are well understood, but we still can't predict the motion of any run.

I'm being sardonic. Let's give that a try ๐Ÿคฃ

That book is a very interesting read, and one I am so happy @raymcdermott pointed out in the Politechs podcast. gratitude I wonder how much the reinforcement learning by human labour is still being done, and how much has shifted to models training other models these days.

Isn't that the point? AI is more average than extreme. The well-trodden path.
