Interesting!

I wonder if it’s carried over too much of that ‘helpful’ DNA from 4o’s RLHF. In that case, maybe asking for 500 words was the difficult part — it just didn’t have enough to say based on one SO post and one article, but the overall directives assume there is, and so the model is put into a place where it must publish..

Put another way, it seems this model faithfully replicates the incentives most academics have — publish a positive result, or get dinged. :)

Did it pick up your HN comments? Kadua claims that’s more than enough to roast me, … and it’s not wrong. It seems like there’s enough detail about you (or me) there to do a better job summarizing.

I didn't actually give it a goal of writing any particular length, but I do think that perhaps given my not-so-large online footprint, it may have felt "pressured" to generate content that simply isn't there.

It didn't pick up my HN comments, probably because my first and last name are not in my profile, though obviously that is my handle in a smooshed-together form.
