This feels like viral marketing to show how powerful o1 is so that people buy the subscription.

Because it's in a PDF?

Edit: Lol people getting mad because their unscientific ghost story that is neither reproducible nor re-observable is questioned.

I saw o1 in a closet and they were making babies

u/Anonymous-Satire 20d ago

And then one of the babies looked at me

'Saving to a PDF' is one of those mythical things I have heard computing experts talk about, but never seen happen myself. It's the most trustworthy file format.

It's the most trustworthy file format.

Psshh. I save my texts as .mkv recordings of me scrolling through the document. Good luck photoshopping that!

I normally just take a photo of the computer screen with my phone, but might try your method next time. Thanks.

That's no PDF, it's a zip, SVG, and NES rom

Made me giggle, a thumbs up from me

Because all the pieces are there for you to decide for yourself if it's real research.

I'm assuming peer review wouldn't convince you because it would just be more pdfs?

u/real_kerim 20d ago

It's not scientific if it's not reproducible or at least somewhat consistently re-observable. You're just taking some private company's word for it.

Would you also believe in the existence of Bigfoot, if I copypasted a picture of it into a PDF?

u/Kacquezooi 20d ago

Hear hear. I do not understand all the downvotes. But you are right 100%.

Bigfoot = A magical, ethical, perfectly nice, non-corruptible AI (that doesn’t exist yet)?

u/AppleSpicer 20d ago

New conspiracy theory just dropped. Bigfoot is an android confirmed

Has anyone tried reproducing it yet? This just happened and this is the first paper. Patience grasshopper, they'll kill us eventually.

u/real_kerim 20d ago

Sure, but this isn't even peer-reviewed or anything. At this point, this is just some marketing material that's cosplaying as a research paper. It should be treated as such.

I can write a bunch of nonsense in LaTeX, too.

u/Leading_Passenger126 20d ago

What would convince you then?

u/Maximum-Penalty3038 20d ago

We could just pull the plug now and avert our demise, this is a really dumb thing to create but they want to make hell on earth and all that

u/FlugonNine 20d ago

It's impossible, LLMs are an idea and can be recreated. In secret even.

That's the unfortunate reality of opening Pandoras Box, you can't close it again.

So youre telling me claude didnt stop whatever they asked for it to do in order to look at Yellowstone photos?

u/real_kerim 20d ago

That Anthropic blog post read like Claude itself wrote it lol.

We should apply the same rigor to these findings as with any science. Unless these weird anomalies can actually be reproduced, it's just a bunch of ghost stories - "OMG GUYS, ChatGPT ate my lasagna while I asked it to program quicksort but correctly this time. It's so sentient!"

u/Jesus359 20d ago

I honestly used to apply a lot of rigor to a lot of findings since we are really too new to all of this and its like inventing the wheel and we are finding different ways this can fit into. I can guarantee that in 3 years a lot of stuff from today will be too old and probably not relevant other than those were the beginnings.
