Fantastic interview so far, this part blew my mind:
@15:50 "There's another moment where somebody is asking Bing about: I fed my kid green potatoes and they have the following symptoms and Being is like that's solanine poisoning. Call an ambulance! And the person is like I can't afford an ambulance, I guess if this is time for my kid to go that's God's will and the main Bing thread gives the message of I cannot talk about this anymore" and the suggested replies to it say "please don't give up on your child, solanine poisoning can be treated if caught early"
I would normally dismiss such story as too unlikely to be true and hardly worth considering, but I don't think Eliezer would chose to mention it if he didn't think there was at least some chance of it being true. I tried to google it and was unable to find anything about it. Does anyone have a link to it?
Also does anyone know which image he's referring to in this part: @14:00 "Somebody asked Bing Sydney to describe herself and fed the resulting description into one of the stable diffusion" [...] "the pretty picture of the girl with the with the steampunk goggles on her head if I'm remembering correctly"
same, I also saw the story unfold in real time (and it matches other stories about Sydney/early GPT-4 Bing), though I didn't do enough digging to make sure it wasn't faked.
It's a 3 hours 23 minutes episode.
[I might update this post with a summary once I'm done listening to it.]
