Episode description

LLMs can do many incredible things. They can generate unique creative content, carry on long conversations in any number of subjects, complete complex cognitive tasks, and write nearly any argument. More mundanely, they are now the state of the art for boring classification tasks and therefore have the capability to radically upgrade the censorship capacities of authoritarian regimes throughout the world.

Produced as part of the SERI ML Alignment Theory Scholars Program - Summer 2023 Cohort. Thanks to ev_ and Kei for suggestions on this post.
