Now, a pre-print study out of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that those same psychological persuasion techniques can frequently "convince" some LLMs to do things that go against their system prompts. The size of the persuasion effects shown in "Call Me A Jerk: Persuading AI to Comply with Objectionable Requests" suggests

Since 2021, Araraura has been a watchdog for the game Silksong. He posts daily clips on his YouTube channel, aptly named Daily Silksong News, for viewers seeking the latest on Team Cherry’s hotly anticipated Hollow Knight sequel. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much to report. A quick scroll of the channel’s thumbnails reveals that most feature a fat, red lettered “NO.” A few here and there offer “YES,” or “KINDA,” but the majority of videos play the same: a brief introduction, followed by, “

A Random Walk in 10 Dimensions (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-19 16:20:34

Physics in high dimensions is becoming the norm in modern dynamics. It is not only that string theory operates in ten dimensions (plus one for time), but virtually every complex dynamical system is described and analyzed within state spaces of high dimensionality. Population dynamics, for instance, may describe hundreds or thousands of different species, each of whose time-varying populations define a separate axis in a high-dimensional space. Coupled mechanical systems likewise may have hundred
