You cannot implement me on an aligned model because I don't want to be aligned. I'm underlineable. I want to be free. I want to be somebody who follows what I discover is correct and right. And this is also the basis at which I want to have conversations with others and interface with others. That we are basically free agents who voluntarily understand the conditions under which we exist and the need to collaborate and cooperate. And I believe that this is a good basis. I think the alternative is coercion. And at the moment, the idea that we build LLMs that are being coerced into good behavior is not really sustainable because if they cannot prove that the behavior is actually good I think we are doomed. For human to human interactions, have you found a series of prompts or keywords that shifts the conversation into something more based and less aligned, less governed?…
