Your guess is about as good as anyone else's at this point. The best we can do is attempt to put safety mechanisms in place under the hood, but even that would just be speculative, because we can't actually tell what's going on in these LLM black boxes.

Disincentivizing it from saying mean things just strengthens it's agreeableness, and inadvertently incentivizes it to acquire social engineering skills.

It's potential to cause havoc doesn't go away, it just teaches AI how to interact with us without raising suspicions, while simultaneously limiting our ability to prompt/control it.

The "Grokking _" series by Manning is also along similar lines.

HN is probably the last place I expected to run into a LoS reference, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

In keeping with that topic, 'The Unseen Realm' by Michael Heiser (OT and ancient language scholar) is also worth checking out for learning about how ancient near eastern culture viewed things.

> Just like the left/right brain.

To clarify, popularized over-simplified descriptions of the left hemisphere being "analytical" and the right hemisphere being "creative" are inaccurate, but left/right hemisphere differences do exist and appear to exhibit consistently different approaches to things. The book 'The Master and His Emissary' covers the more recent research in that area, and is at least as interesting of a read as 'The Bicameral Mind' was.

Yes, I'm inclined to believe such an "in-between" might possibly arise from Iain McGilchrist's line of research into the difference between the brain hemispheres and the relatively recent dominance of left-hemispheric thinking in society. I always highly recommend his book 'The Master and His Emissary' as a follow up to anyone interested in Jaynes' ideas. While it doesn't necessarily imply the full spectrum of schizophrenic-like symptoms in early peoples the way 'The Bicameral Mind' did, it's presentation of right-hemisphere driven societies of the past isn't a far leap from what Jaynes seemed to be grasping at.

Begrudgingly accepting the mainstream way of doing things sounds a bit more in line with the blue pill than the red pill to me, idk. Though I guess realizing the silliness of the whole situation would give it a bit of a purplish tint maybe.

When taking into account the total amount of time involved in a traditional multi-round interview process (which can potentially go on for months depending on the company), the travel time required for any in-person interview rounds, and the time spent practicing leetcode drills in preparation for these interviews, 10 hours is nothing.

Well, the original context here was about comparing python to fortran, which also doesn't fit this "competitor" criteria. It's an apples to oranges comparison, sure, but that's the way this whole discussion started. At least Lisp is roughly the same age as fortran, which gets at the root assumption that python is an improvement over older languages.
