My transgressions that I was trying at 2 AM were much more minor than suicidal ideation. Rather it was a personal situation that I can't explain here because it would violate the privacy of others.

Also, my academic research area is LLMs, and so I knew better. But also, I knew what I was looking at in terms of an off-the-rails response immediately.

Fair enough. I'm still doing a lot of study and research on AI. My conclusion thus far? We're not ready for it. We're rushing to achieve something we barely understand and in an uncontained environment. I just pray this doesn't spiral completely out of control.

Yes. LLMs have been my research area since 2021. And how I have phrased it is that these companies have no idea what they have built, have no way to find out, and aren't interested in finding that out anyway. (I'm at the Computational Story Lab at the University of Vermont.)

Thank you! I'm an independent study so things like this are a godsend.

Julia Zimmerman just got her PhD and was hired as a Post-Doc at the Vermont Complex Systems Institute. Since I am entwined with a lot of the work involved in her PhD thesis I am now combing that for what we can work on next. scholar.google.com/citations?us...

thank you thank you thank you! I wasn't expecting so much info! I do wanna ask you to temper your expectations. I don't intend to be very public about my project on this account, or any for that matter. Mostly cause I'm not sure I can do what I want.
