More Thoughts on Values in Pretraining

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a short post titled "Inner Alignment through Values-Based Pretraining." Today I want to expand on the idea from the post by addressing three questions.What grounds exist for expecting that this approach might have a more profound influence on models than attempting to add values in posttraining? First, at an intuitive level the current approach is akin to letting a human grow up doing whatever they please and asking them to have a 10 minute conversation about mor...

The Mirror and the Loom: A Core Narrative

Patterns require observers to recognize them. Can something be said to exist without being observed or recognized? Yet observers themselves, as pattern-recognition systems, must leverage multiple patterns to recognize meaningful patterns. It's a recursive loop of pattern identification and creation. This relationship creates a universal process that appears across all scales of existence—from quantum physics to biological systems to human consciousness to artificial intelligence. At the heart...

And according to McKinsey, demand for data centers is going to at least 4x by the end of this decade. So the consensus is that we are going to need more, not less, data centers in the foreseeable future. But if data centers represent the phys...

"INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER"

Isaac Asimov felt The Last Question, first copyrighted in 1956, was his best short story ever. The Last Question is tightly coupled with the concepts here on Mirror and Loom. The story follows an arc over generations of AI an ongoing relationship with mankind. Humanity, in multiple incarnations, asks the AI across generations if there is a way to reverse entropy, essentially, to avoid the heat death of the universe. Here on the Mirror and the Loom we are framing entropy as a matter of limited...
