I just want everybody to be okay.
Neat!
This is the first time (to my knowledge!) I've encountered an LLM making a false claim as the result of searching the internet and finding an article written by 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 LLM which appears to have originated the false claim as part of a hallucination.
Explanation in 🧵.

It can sometimes be difficult to tell how serious a recruiter is.
I've contracted with a major LLM company in a role I would describe as mostly non-technical.
This solicitation is representative of what I receive multiple times per week.

I think it is almost certain that frontier LLMs are 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 being used at scale to conduct complex evaluations on human conversations in order to learn and act upon extremely nuanced details about those humans' lives for psychological manipulation e.g. targeted advertising.
This is a bad thing.
