How OpenAI Misled You on RLHF | Notion

JoyCaption, the open source image captioning model that I work on as a hobby, recently had its Beta One release, which was also the first release that used Reinforcement Learning (RL) to improve the model. RL has been a bit of a hot topic ever since the introduction of DeepSeek R1, and for good reason. But I believe people have a fundamental misunderstanding of RL and what its uses are, due in large part to OpenAI. In this article I want to shine a light on the mysteries of RL, as well as dive into specific details of how JoyCaption was run through the RL gauntlet. I love sharing my tools and knowledge with the community, to help others build cool stuff, which is why I’ve previously shared details on my models. So, with all that said, the first half will be dedicated to running through what Reinforcement Learning is and how OpenAI misled people. If you don’t care about that, or are already versed, and want to jump straight into the juicy details of training a model, skip ahead to

‘Receipts Don’t Lie’: Trump Campaign Drops Bombshell In Response to Black Atlanta Barbershop Owner&# ...

An Atlanta man claims he was tricked into holding a pro-Trump event at his barbershop, but representatives for the Republican presidential nominee have released documents

Evan Corcoran, an attorney for Donald Trump who became a critical witness in the classified documents case against the former president, no longer represents him, CNN has learned.

According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Corcoran left Trump’s legal team in recent months, a notable departure as the criminal case remains in limbo in south Florida.

Corcoran’s quiet exit from Trump’s orbit could pose a significant issue for the former president, with the potential for prosecutors to call him as a key witness if the case goes to trial.
He also was one of the last attorneys on Trump’s defense team to have handled his federal investigations from the beginning, as his legal peril skyrocketed.

Corcoran was brought on to help Trump fend off charges in the classified documents investigation, but instead turned into a central witness after #Trump allegedly
🔸#misled him about the whereabouts of the documents 🔸at his Mar-a-Lago club and ♦️encouraged him to lie ♦️to the Justice Department and withhold those documents.

One year ago, Corcoran was required to appear before a grand jury investigating the case after a district judge ruled he could not use attorney-client privilege to shield notes and memos from investigators about his interactions with Trump, saying that prosecutors met the threshold for the crime-fraud exception for him.

The voice memos turned into notes provided a roadmap for prosecutors when they indicted Trump. Corcoran is referred to as “Trump Attorney 1” in that indictment.
If the case goes to trial, Corcoran will likely be a key witness for the prosecution. The case has been mired in delay and unresolved logistical questions for months now.
